A Passenger Cabin
This is a first class cabin. Every cabin has a telephone, connected to the ship's automaitc switchboard with 300 lines. Radio telephone calls can be made to shore, and thanks to a scrambler, the calls can not be intercepted. Every cabin also has a bath room or shower.


The Children's Playroom
There is a special room with children's furniture and toys.


Verandas
The ocean view can be enjoyed both aft and forward.
