Panorama is a 54-metre, three-masted motor sailer built to SOLAS standards, carrying 49 guests at an unhurried 11-knot pace through the Greek islands. Her profile is defined by classic lines, varnished wood interiors, and wide deck areas split across multiple levels. Public spaces include a single-seating dining room with panoramic windows, a wood-panelled lounge with library, an outdoor bar, and two open decks for sunbathing and shaded retreat. A swimming platform, snorkelling gear, kayaks, and beach towels support water-based stops, while the vessel’s sail plan adds a traditional character seldom found in small-ship cruising. A crew of 16–18 manages service and navigation, keeping operations steady and unobtrusive.
The ship offers 24 ocean-view cabins across three categories. Lower Deck cabins in Categories B and C use portholes and provide en-suite bathrooms finished in marble or Corian, along with TV, telephone, hairdryer, mini-fridge, safe, central music, and individual air-conditioning. Category A cabins are positioned on the Main and Upper Decks, replacing portholes with large windows and adding more natural light and outward visibility.
