German-speaking families and groups who want a big resort ship with lots of included dining.
Think twice if: Almost everything on board is in German; English-speaking Americans may feel left out.

What she's like
A floating resort with the most to do. Expect lines at boarding, the buffet and tender boats. About 35 tons of ship per guest. As a rule of thumb, 40 or more feels roomy and under 30 feels busy.
German-language product: 'Der Grossteil unserer Crew spricht Deutsch, Englischkenntnisse brauchen Sie nicht.' Menus, programs and shows in German.
Our judgment, from $ (budget) to $$$$$ (ultra-luxury).
Full board with selected drinks on every voyage: buffet restaurants include water, soft drinks, house wine, tea and filter coffee. Specialty restaurant food included but drinks extra (LIGHT fare pays EUR 12.90 per visit at some). A-la-carte restaurants extra. ALL IN fares (5+ day voyages) add the largest drinks package.
