THE architectural firm responsible for conceiving Seven Seas Splendor’s La Veranda restaurant on the ship’s 11th deck has lifted the lid on why the design makes the dining space unique for cruise passengers.
The area on the newly launched vessel boasts enclosed balconies to offer both starboard & portside views that don’t “compromise the ship’s sleek lines”.
“The unrestricted views create a feeling of openness in a relatively narrow space,” said YSA Design Chief Executive Officer Anne Mari Gullikstad.
“The bays were constructed in such a way that they do not detract from the ship’s side aspect, cast shadows over cabin balconies below or obscure views from the bridge,” she added.
The design is also intended to capture “the essence of al-fresco dining in a new way”, presenting diners with bright and colourful decor that breaks up the longitudinal view through the restaurant and diverts the view towards the outside world.
The space also boasts open-air seating with balconies, as well as garden pavilions.
