Your cabin
Our shared common cabins are well-lit, with additional ambient lighting through false windows and floor lights. These cabins are the largest on the ship and, as most are located on the second deck, are recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful night's sleep. Curtains on each berth provide privacy when needed. Each shared cabin has its own modern bathroom with shower and toilet.
Most of the shared cabins sleep up to four people, while two of the shared cabins can accommodate up to six. The latter also have windows overlooking the sea. For organisational reasons, the type of shared cabin cannot be chosen, and allocation is always between people of the same sex.
