Accommodating just 130 guests, enjoy an intimate onboard atmosphere and the most personalized service.

Onboard Enrichment

Learn about regional history, unique ecosystems, and local culture through engaging presentations and expert-led discussions. In the evenings, relax with live music and entertainment that reflects the laid-back spirit of Florida’s shoreline communities.

Culinary Traditions

As part of our world-class cruising experience, savor Florida coastal cuisine showcasing the region’s diverse influences. Enjoy fresh seafood, citrus-infused dishes, and flavors shaped by Southern and Caribbean traditions, all thoughtfully prepared using locally sourced ingredients and prepared by our team of master chefs.
