Adorned with over 46,000ft of Italian marble and 500 crystal chandeliers, plus a specially curated art collection, Splendor will live up to its name, offering huge balcony space in every one of its 375 suites.

Billed as the largest suite on a luxury cruise ship, and perched high on the 14 th deck, The Regent Suite has unobstructed 270-degree views over the ship’s bow from the 1,300 square-foot wraparound veranda, and a spacious glass-enclosed solarium seating area on top of the bridge, as well as an in-suite spa offering unlimited treatments.

For food lovers, Splendor boasts a range of innovative culinary experiences, including Culinary Arts Kitchen classes and Gourmet Explorer Tours, plus seven dining venues, ranging from French restaurant Chartreuse to spectacular Pan-Asian restaurant Pacific Rim. La Veranda offers authentic Italian specialities which guests will be able to enjoy from stunning new over-water alcove seating.

Splendor will sail the Western Mediterranean and Adriatic to the Greek Islands as well as sailing on a round-Britain cruise in August 2020 before heading back to the Mediterranean and then to Miami in November.
