We can only imagine a place full of peace when we think of the place that inspired them, and we're not the only ones, the designers made sure the boat's amenities provide pure relaxation.

There are a pair of terraces at the stern of the ship, one of which has the ability to expand into a large beach area directly connected to the water. This area is also equipped with an above ground pool and sun loungers.
