The benefits available to those booking suites include:

General sales manager Lol Nichols, general sales manager for Fred. Olsen said: "Once someone has booked a suite and appreciated the pleasure of the extra space, private balcony - and now a whole host of attractive little extras - they will be reluctant to trade down."
