Photographs are illustrative. A ship's photograph may have been taken at another port or in an earlier livery, and destination photographs show the region rather than a specific stop on a specific sailing. Nothing here is supplied by a cruise line.
Where no freely licensed photograph of a ship exists, its pages show none rather than a picture of a different ship. On November 14, 2026 that was Explora IV, Royal Caribbean's Hero of the Seas, Norwegian Aura and Seven Seas Prestige, all new ships with no freely licensed photograph published yet. Seven Seas Prestige has only an artist's impression, which is not a photograph, so it is not used.
