Safety Management), while its powerful engines, generators and
state of the art twin stabilizers will allow for safe and comfortable
cruising.
Life
on Board
The HARMONY V is a modern Megayacht with a sleek high-tech look
very similar to the private yachts to be found in the famous ports
of the world.
Life on board will center around the Bar Lounge and Dining Room
at the Main Deck and at the Sun Deck Bar where meals are served
"al fresco" depending on the weather and the ship location.
The classy dining room and the adjoining cosy bar lounge are surrounded
by large windows providing beautiful views of the ports of call
It accommodates all guests in one single seating and provides
a high standard of cuisine, always with some local flavour. The
Sun Deck is the ideal place to bask under the sun, read a good
book or just gaze at the scenery. The swimming platform on Harmony
V stern will allow for easy access to the ship and for a wide
range of sea related activities. Service on board is provided
by your Captain, the Cruise Coordinator and your experienced Marine
and Hotel crew members. Service will be attentive or unobtrusive
according to your requirements and priority is always given to
the safety and comfort of passengers. Organised excursions are
available for most ports of call and can be pre-booked or reserved
24 hours in advance.
