The lower deck includes four guest cabins, comprising two VIPs and two twin guest cabins, as well as a crew area forward with a mess, three cabins and a large-capacity laundry station. A walk-through from the laundry into the guest corridor is facilitated by a watertight bulkhead door fitted for damage stability.
