Above: The ship's original bell can still be found, located on the port side of the bridge.
Above & Below: Right aft on the upper passenger deck (the Boat Deck) is the main bar, still referred to throughout the ship as the Lion Bar as it has been since the ship's Lion Ferry days.
Below: On the port side of the main passenger deck (aft of the cafeteria), the ship retains her original restaurant with its beams and rather fussy decor.
Below: The main passenger deck was originally known as the Restaurant Deck and featured a variety of eating options. Since the ship's move to Italy however, much of the space forward and aft has been converted to cabins as well as this relatively small reclining seat lounge located centrally towards the stern.
Below: Running along the starboard side, forward from the aft cabins and reclining seats, is this arcade. To the right in the foreground is the cafeteria.
Below: As the Palau, the ship retains in the cafeteria typical Stena Line Globetrotter decor from her previous owners. This is the view looking across to starboard with the servery area to the right (aft).
Below: The cafeteria servery.
Below: The information desk is located amidships to starboard, just off the arcade. The desk itself faces aft.
