Two images come from the cruise lines, because these ships are too new for a freely licensed photograph. Oceania Sonata is a press photograph from Oceania Cruises, taken at the shipyard in Marghera, Italy, in August 2026 while she was still being fitted out. Seven Seas Prestige is an artist's impression from Regent Seven Seas Cruises, not a photograph, because she has not sailed yet.

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. Oceania Aurelia is shown as Nautica, her name before her refit.

We could not find a freely licensed photograph of Explora IV and Explora V, so those ships show no image rather than a picture of a different ship.
