History

The ship had its maiden voyage on 14 May 2023. The ship's first voyage took place in the eastern Mediterranean Sea before the ship sailed out for cruises in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Ocean across late 2023 to early 2024. In April 2024, the ship visited Fremantle for the first time. In July and August the ship sailed from the eastern hemisphere to the United Kingdom for its inaugural UK season sailing from Portsmouth to Europe and North Africa.
