Deck layout and review

Review of Star Seeker deck 3 (Cabins-Tendering-Marina-Crew)

The aft Marina/Watersports Platform has a direct staircase access and facilitates watersports activities like swimming, kayaking, etc). The Marina also serves as a launch platform for the Zodiacs (large-capacity RIBs/rigid inflatable boats) used for near-shore/coastal cruising and tours on inland waterways.

The midship-located Mud Room is utilized for passenger embarkation and disembarkation on/from the Zodiac boats (large-capacity, inflatable boats/expedition landing craft). The room has lockers providing gear storage (jackets, boots, snorkeling equipment). In warm weather destinations, the cruise ship provides complimentary snorkeling gear (wetsuit, mask, snorkel, fins) for passenger use during the cruise expedition.

Expedition Landing Craft fleet consists of 10x inflatable motorized boats and 2 loading stations. They are used for passenger disembarkation in places otherwise inaccessible by the ship. Each expedition boat has length 19 ft (6 m), max capacity 12 people and is powered by a 4-stroke outboard engine. These boats are specially designed (military-grade) watercraft with extra holds. They are also fitted with custom-designed ladders for easy boarding and disembarkation.

Deck 3 passenger cabins from 303 to 312 are in category OV (Oceanview Suite), each with a large non-opening window. On Deck 3 are also most staff and crew cabins, located in the forward and aft sections.

All passenger decks have elevator access (via 2 lifts/forward and aft) and WCs/public restrooms. For safety reasons, the elevators are shut down during inclement weather.
