Unless specifically stated, an "Upgrade" offer is limited to the next level higher by either category (e.g. an outside cabin to a balcony) or by class (e.g. a D4 to a D2 inside cabin). A "Double Upgrade" offer will apply two category levels higher (e.g. inside cabin to a balcony class). Upgrade offers are included in the displayed pricing and you must book in the cabin category that you wish to sail in.
