A large, brightly illuminated cruise ship is depicted at night, positioned on the dark, rippled waters of a bay near Patong, Thailand. The vessel, featuring numerous decks, exhibits extensive lighting, primarily warm yellow from cabin windows and public areas, complemented by cooler blue and purple accent lights along its lower hull and superstructure. A prominent white 'X' logo is visible on the ship's upper deck structure towards the stern. The foreground shows the metal railing of a smaller vessel, suggesting the image was captured from another boat. Distant, dimly lit landmasses are faintly discernible along the horizon in the background. No specific individuals or their actions are identifiable.
