Each line is folded to one row: its price range, and a dot on every day one of its ships sails, coloured by the best sailing that day. Tap a line to open it ship by ship: each bar is one sailing, from the day it leaves for as many nights as it lasts; the outlined bar is the cheapest here. Sailings are listed in the month they leave; a bar ending in → continues into next month. Tap a bar to open that sailing. “Usual” is the typical price of the same cabin on other dates of the same sailing, else the same ship or line at that length. Taxes and port fees included.
