    Cruise Decks

    We made sure while designing the preliminary structure that no guest cabins will be located near the engines area, a major problem that occurs due to the relative noise produced by the engines. Instead, in the same level of the engines room is located the Kitchen and the Restaurant. And in the level above the engines the staff cabins and Laundry. Totally distant from guest accommodation.
