INTERIOR

The interiors underwent a comprehensive refit from Auckland-based Diverse Projects and the entire hull was repainted along with engine and machinery services, systems upgrades from the bridge to the tank deck and a rebuilding of several submarines. Pale wooden panelling complements the cool and calm colour scheme used in the guest quarters and communal areas.

The main deck forward contains the crew accommodation, galley and mess with a staircase in the centre connecting the floors. Guest accommodation is located on the upper deck aft and consists of four twin cabins, a VIP stateroom and an Owner’s cabin, all with en-suite facilities. The Captain’s cabin and an office are placed to the aft.

The bridge deck interior hosts a spacious lounge and there is a port-side aft oval dining table to seat up to 12 guests, plus a massive corner sofa and two plush armchairs to form the lounge beside the floor-to-ceiling windows to starboard. A TV is integrated into the aft starboard wall and there are three large armchairs for comfortable viewing.
