The vessel may be configured in a multi-class seating arrangement, with classes from first with large, fully-reclining seats, to a more basic economy class. Alternately, the vessel may be configured in a simpler single-class arrangement using any seating option the customer chooses. Regardless of layout, there is ample room for passengers to stretch their legs and move about, and large windows provide plenty of natural light. The FCS 7011 features Metal Shark’s pillarless glass pilothouse, which uses large frameless windows to significantly reduce blind spots. This, combined with the vessel’s elevated superstructure, provides ideal visibility for crew.
