‘’We admit we got it wrong first time, and we can't wait to see this ship in Miami. It's a game changer, for sure’’ - Cruise Critic

The moment I step onboard and am greeted by a cheery "Ahoy" by a crew member who seemed deliriously happy to be working, I am kind of smitten. This ship is a game changer and ready for its Miami close up.

Calling all First Mates: We have extended our WAVE offers until March 31st. Your Sailors can still get up to $400 in onboard credit to spend on things like jet ski adventures, personal training sessions, and cocktails. Plus, we’ll throw in an extra $100 when they pre-purchase a bar tab so they can keep those drinks coming.

Happy New Year, First Mates. Cheers to making ship happen in 2021. 🥂🎉

To our beloved First Mates:

As the year draws to a close, we’d hoped to look back on months of sailing new horizons. Instead, the year looked much different; one where conference rooms became Zoom meetings, parents became school teachers, and travel went inward — exploring sides of ourselves we didn’t know we had and becoming people we didn’t know we needed to become. But we did it. We learned to do yoga in our living rooms. We taught our grandparents to FaceTime. And most importantly, we prevailed.

For many of us, dreaming of a million different versions of our future when the world opens back up has kept us going. Dreams so big and beautiful they give us reasons to wake up and face today's hardships — knowing that somewhere beyond all of this, a future exists that is so unbelievably full that getting through today is possible.

To our First Mates, our dreamers, we want to thank you and we want to celebrate you. Thanking you for your patience with us as we wait to get to sea, and celebrating your ability to get through a very tough year. The places we’ve dreamed of all year await us on the other side of this — beaming like a glowing light on the horizon. Because we’re not just building a ship — we’re revolutionizing a way to explore the world.

We can’t wait to turn the dreams of 2020 into the realities of 2021 with you. Until then, keep dreaming of where we’ll go together very soon.
