- More immersive cultural experiences
- Expedition-style exploration in Alaska
- Luxury, destination-focused cruising rather than simply visiting major tourist ports
The most newsworthy elements are the return to Egypt, the new Gulf of Bothnia itinerary, and the expansion of port-intensive, immersive experiences across the 2029 season.
