One-third of the former second-class dining saloon has been partitioned off to form the main tourist third-class dining saloon, and there is an auxiliary diningroom adjoining, which will be used when the vessel’s tourist accommodation, which is for 530 persons, is fully booked. The cabins, many of which are arranged for two persons, are much larger than might be expected for tourist passengers.
