“Twelve guests have ample space and privacy across five decks, four of which are connected by an elevator. Seven super-luxurious cabins include two VIP suites on the main deck, two double cabins and two twin cabins on the lower deck, all with en suite bathrooms. The spectacular full beam master suite features a beautiful central bath tub and separate his and her shower rooms.”
