EXTERIOR
Monserrat’s outdoor design is carefully calibrated to balance comfort, views and expedition function. The sun deck is a key highlight, featuring generous sun bed areas, a partial shaded zone, and a wet bar station—ideal for al fresco lounging between excursions. Forward on the upper decks, seating and lookout points allow guests to savour sweeping ocean panoramas and wildlife sightings.

Her upper deck accommodates outdoor dining under the sky as well as areas for informal gathering. The main deck aft provides a transition space for embarkation, zodiac operations and water access. Deck circulation is open and fluid, allowing guests to drift between sheltered lounges and open air vantage spots. These areas become lively settings for briefings, sundowners or quiet reflection depending on the day’s programme.

INTERIOR
Inside, Monserrat is warm and welcoming, with wood paneling, soft carpeting, artwork, and attention to finish that evoke a sense of understated elegance. Her main salon spans the full beam, with lounge seating oriented beneath large windows, a bar area nearby, and a central dining room adjacent for convivial meals and guide briefings.

Light and neutral tones dominate the palette, offset by timber and local touches, creating a calm retreat from the sun. The décor is intentionally unpretentious yet refined, fostering relaxed social interaction without ostentation. Secondary interior zones include a reading library and space for planning or small group gatherings.
