Decks

Deck 9: Bridge
The main feature of this deck is the Sky Bar where you can enjoy a relaxing drink any time of the day while enjoying the best panoramic views from the ship. The Bridge is situated here, however due to new regulations introduced in 2004 (ISPS code) it is no longer permitted for us to arrange visits.

Lift

A passenger lift runs to all passenger accommodation decks, with the exception of Deck 2 aft for the fitness room, Deck 3 aft for the disco and cinema level, Deck 7 aft for the sauna and hair salon and cabins 7215, 7216, 7217, 7110, 7111, 7112 (these cabins are accessed via a staircase or alternatively may be reached via the outside promenade deck) and Deck 9 for the sky bar & bridge. For your safety when the sea is rough, lifts may be put out of service. Parents are requested not to allow their children in the lift unattended. A standard size collapsible wheelchair must be folded to enable it to fit into the lift.

Suitability

Our cruises are suitable for people of all ages, except for children under the age of 6 months and women who are more than 28 weeks pregnant at the date of travel. Cruises are also not suitable for passengers who are totally confined to a wheelchair. They are however, suitable for wheelchair users with limited mobility, provided these passengers are accompanied by an able-bodied fellow passenger. Any passenger suffering from a disability must declare this on the booking form.

Disabled passengers

Regrettably the vessel is not specifically equipped for passengers confined to a wheelchair. Those passengers who may need to use a wheelchair must have their own standard size collapsible wheelchair, be able to negotiate the ship’s gangway while in port (a minimum of 32 steps) and must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion.

Physical disability

Any physical disability that may require special attention or treatment must be reported when your cruise reservation is made. Passage may be refused to anyone whose state of health or physical condition renders that person, in the opinion of the Shipping Line, unfit to travel, or whose condition may constitute a danger to that person or another passenger.

Your boarding card (white plastic identity card), received at check-in is also your on board cruise payment card. This card is magnet sensitive and should be kept separate from mobile phones, keys and other bank cards. When joining the ship on embarkation day a security photograph will be taken which will be stored in the ship’s computer. When getting on and off the ship you will be required to present this card to the ship’s Security Officer so that it may be swiped through the ship’s computer to update the register of passengers on board.
