Social Insider - 177 sq ft: Built for groups of Sailors, what happens inside this cabin, stays inside (because it’s sans windows). The bunk beds go from sleep to sit in no time while the amenities in this sensory and responsive clever cabin match that of all other cabins, except the way bigger TV.
Solo Sea View - 130 sq ft: Views on views minus the messy hair. Sailors will enjoy all the amenities of cabin life while watching the waves from a personal hideaway. It’s the closest Sailors can get to the ocean without getting wet (save that for the pool party).

Fab Suite - 950 sq ft: Floorplan4Whether a Sailor prefers yoga on the terrace, or serving up negronis at the fully stocked, in-room bar, this suite is perfect for those who love to host. When here alone, they’ll be tasked with relaxing in the marbled bathroom with an indoor dichroic glass enclosed Peek-a-Boo shower or rinsing off in the terrace's Peek-a-View shower. Sailors can relax on the European king bed with tunes on the record player or head outside to the three-seater lounge then pop some bubbly at the Champagne table.
