This corridor at the rear of the bar/coffee house leads to a dedicated reclining seat lounge for commercial drivers (previously a second cinema) and the red stairs (which is a bit hidden to the right and round a corner). The remaining cinema occupies the same space on the other side of the ship. Copyright © Steven Tarbox.

Furthest forward in the lounge is this small area, which I assume is aimed at toddlers. Copyright © Steven Tarbox.

Similar to the play area onboard Stena Lagan/Mersey, this is to the side of the family lounge rather than the coffee shop as it is on the Birkenhead ships. Copyright © Steven Tarbox
