The ship’s 34 suites all have a balcony, and the 1-bedroom suites—ranging in size from the 350-sq.-ft. Deluxe Suite with a Scenic Sun Lounge to the 865-sq.-ft.

The Royal Panorama Suite offers four separate areas—a bathroom with an extra large tub, rainfall shower, and walk-in dressing room; a bedroom; a living room and an outdoor forward-facing deck with a daybed, jacuzzi and an outdoor dining table. The Scenic Spirit also features four dining venues, a resort-style pool deck and bar, a full spa with a sauna and steam room, a bar and lounge, and a Sun Deck with an open-air cinema. All guests receive butler service, and laundry service is also available on board.
