At 330 metres and carrying 4,402 guests across 17 passenger decks, she features the MedallionClass wearable technology system and a wide range of dining, entertainment, and wellness options. Her South Pacific itineraries typically operate as Sydney or Brisbane roundtrips, combining Suva and Lautoka with Vanuatu and New Caledonia.

It is a working Pacific city with a National Museum, Thurston Gardens, vibrant municipal market, and strong Indo-Fijian cultural presence. With 4,402 passengers ashore, book tours in advance.
