Royal Intel Insight
This is the tier that gives the strongest first impression this month. In the January 2026 Certificate (Version C), that tier is 25000 points.
What This Means
Some months have a clear sweet spot. When one tier keeps turning up the better ships, better itineraries, and better room setups, that is usually where certificate players start first.
In the January 2026 Certificate (Version C), that line currently sits at 25000 points. That does not mean every sailing there is a win, but it does show where the month looks strongest and where the value starts to thin out.

Why This Tier Stands Out
This is not just a count of how many sailings land in a tier. It also gives more credit to better ships, stronger destinations, longer trips, better room types, and rarer combinations.
A lower tier can still hide a gem, but the stronger tier is where the best options tend to cluster more often.

Then return to the month report to compare it with the opening points for Europe, Alaska, and longer sailings.
