NORTHERN STAR accommodates 6 guests, 4 adults and 2 children, in 3 cabins. The interior is fully air-conditioned and headroom is 6’ 8” throughout
The spacious Master Suite is forward with a queen v-berth, hanging locker and private head with a separate stall shower. There is also a comfortable seat and a writing desk on the starboard side.
A center hallway runs aft to the salon. Aft and to port of the master stateroom is an elegant VIP Suite that was originally planned for the King and Queen of Norway who frequented the yacht. This cabin is an intimate oasis featuring his and her twins, ample storage and a private head with hand-shower.
Also aft of the master on the port side is a common head with shower (shared by crew). On the starboard side are two well-appointed guest cabins (one of which are used by the crew), each with over and under single berths, a bureau and hanging locker. These two cabins share the common head and hand-shower.
