In the master cabin bathroom, the surfaces are dressed in gold and silver, colours which blend perfectly with the onyx marble, proving that attention to detail has been meticulously considered when using this stately yet elegant design.
The VIP cabin boasts a queen-size bed dressed in leather with soft wooden furniture. The choice of soothing colours in the twin cabins gives the sense of electric luxury, allowing a dreamy voyage. On the lower deck, there are the two spacious twin cabins, both with an extra Pullman berth and ensuite.
Pollux offers space and comfort in outside areas as well. The aft deck area gives one the first feeling of luxury provided onboard. Her spacious table is ideal for breakfast or relaxing.
