Observation Deck and Crow's Nest
Watch the world go by in the 38 square-metre forward Observation Lounge (410 sq ft), where your exploration experiences come together in collected objects, books and multimedia. As the bright polar light pours inside through 270-degree panoramic views and large skylight, H2 Design’s creates balance with darker moodier woods and a richly warm tone. A stunning lacquer ceiling dome merges into the skylight. Step outside to enjoy spectacular vantage points from the bow point observation deck.
Sky lounge Vistas
Up on Bridge Deck, the aft-facing outdoor space can be fully enclosed with bifold doors to create a 33 square-metre Sky Lounge (355 sq ft) with skylight. With fabulous views, the inside-outside feeling is enhanced with the rippled ceiling effect reminiscent of reflections on water. H2 created a contemporary modern palette, with bold marble choices and reflective surfaces.
Alpine Sauna
Enjoy the alpine Spa vibe next to the day lounge in the cosy cocoon of the Bridge Deck sauna. The sauna is accentuated by glass doors to feel open, while soft woods, fibre optic lighting and stone walls lit from above make a warm and inviting interior.
