• Spacious and Luxurious Cabin: The cabin is designed for ultimate comfort on long journeys, typically accommodating 12 to 16 passengers in a three-zone configuration. Features often include fully reclining seats or beds, a dedicated stateroom, multiple lavatories, and a full galley. Cabin dimensions are generous, with a height of around 6.2 to 6.3 feet (1.86 to 1.91 meters), a width of about 7.9 to 8.2 feet (2.41 to 2.49 meters), and a length of approximately 40.7 to 48.4 feet (12.41 to 14.73 meters).
