Typically 120–185 sq ft
$$
A real window or porthole, but no door — you can't step outside. Natural light without balcony prices. Check for an obstructed view before booking.
Typically 150–200 sq ft
$$$
A private outdoor space, usually with two chairs and a small table. The most popular category for a reason — fresh air and a view of every port.
Typically 175–250 sq ft, plus balcony
$$$$
Significantly more space, often a separate bedroom or lounge, and a bigger balcony. Perks vary hugely by line — a "suite" isn't the same experience everywhere.
Typically 300 sq ft and up
Above standard suites, several lines run a "ship within a ship" — its own restaurant, lounge, sun deck, sometimes a private pool.
A full, grade-by-grade breakdown for each line — what's included at every level, from the most affordable cabin to the top suite.

Line guide
Exact inclusions — drinks packages, gratuities, specific perks — can change between ships and sailings. Confirm current details with the line or your travel agent before booking; this page describes the general grade structure, not a specific sailing's pricing.
