Passenger accommodation

There are six decks arranged for passenger use, the lower three A- , B- , and C - decks being given over to cabins, with the exception of an entrance hall and one or two shops situated on A- deck. This is a single-class ship capable of accommodating 870 persons and the majority of cabins are two-berth with private toilet and shower. There are nine deluxe cabins ranged along the port side on the boat deck, and these are larger than the standard cabin and have the refinements of a bath and refrigerator fitted. A very compact combined toilet, shower and wash basin cabinet have been developed by the builders especially for ships of this type and these units, which are fitted with

their own piping which only needs connecting to the ship's system, have been used throughout the accommodation, except for the nine de-luxe cabins.

The usual range of cabin services, telephone, radio and television outlets, etc are provided for. Hanging space for clothes is closed off by curtaining, obviating the fitting of wardrobe doors.

Although basically a single-class ship, a range of 12 fare prices is available because of price differentials depending on the choice of location of the cabins within the vessel, whether there is natural daylight in the cabin or not, etc. On A- , B-, C - decks there are two passageways running almost the length of the ship which divide the vessel into three, as can be seen from the general arrangement drawing. These passageways can of course be sectioned off by fire doors. As an aid to recognition, each passageway has been given a Norwegian nameHaakon VII's Gate for example.

The ship has two main staircases, one forward and one aft, each stairway being flanked by two lifts. At each deck level the stairways have mimic diagrams which show the observers' position within the ship. The colours of the lines used on the diagrams for the different decks correspond with the colour of carpeting to be found on that deck.

Passenger accommodation and public rooms are to the design of the Danish designer M. Hammer and are intended to particularly appeal to American taste.

Starting at the top of the ship, the Viking Crown observation lounge and bar, abaft the funnel, can hold 50 people and from here partial views of the forward part of the ship and views of the after decks can be had. This circular room is some 27 m above sea level.

On the bridge deck, so called 'sun walks' have been provided which overlook the pool area of the deck below. At bridge deck level just aft of the mast, tiered seats have been arranged facing aft to form seating for an open-air cinema.

Amidships on the sun deck is the large heated swimming pool. This is filled with sea water and the entire area around the pool is enclosed by screens for protection against the wind. Forward of the pool is a bar and aft two sauna baths.

Nine extra-large cabins are arranged along the port side of the boat deck, and these are all named after famous explorers.The aftermost cabin connects with a small writing room called 'Grieg's Room' , and when conferences are held aboard, this cabin and the adjoining room would be used as the cabin and conference office respectively for the conference director. Across the passage way, which has observation windows set in the panelling for viewing into the swimming pool, are located the hospital forward, the officers mess and aft the 'Peer Gynt Suite' . This latter space which is L-shaped is used as a card room, library and cocktail lounge.

Aft on this deck is the Lounge of the Midnight Sun which is fitted with a circular bar and has a small circular dance floor. This space for 215 persons can be divided off so that part can be used as a lido terrace bar serving the lido situated aft of the lounge and the rest used as a nightclub. Predominantly dark colours, black , purple and dark blue have been used in this space for the groups of tables and sofas, each of which is intended to accommodate only small parties of people. Atmosphere is provided by carefully chosen lighting effects which include lights which shine through the table tops, and a system of projectors concealed in the deckhead which project woodland scenes, etc on to screens around the room.

Noticeable in the 'King and I' room, which is brightly coloured in lime green and turquoise, are two large stainless steel buffet tables having hot and cold sections. During the day these are used by waiters to serve from and in the evening function as most convenient self-service counters.

Right aft on the restaurant deck is the multi-purpose room 'South Pacific'. It is possible, by means of fоlding doors, to divide this space for use as a lounge, convention hall or а cinema with a capacity for 262 persons. During the day these doors are opened to form one large space which can accommodate a total of 430 persons. At the forward end of this room there is a projection booth and tiered seats lead down to groups of tables which fill in the remainder of the space to the stage. Tables, chairs and settees are arranged along each side and the whole space is tastefully decorated in shades of orange, yellow and brown.

Side doors port and starboard at A - deck level give on to the main entrance hall just aft of amidships. From here a central passageway leads forward past the shopping area to the forward main staircase and aft to the after staircase. The long twin passageways mentioned previously, which give access to the accommodation spaces, flank this central passageway. Right forward on this deck, forward of the superstructure, is the crew's swimming pool. Accommodation for senior ship's personnel is forward on the boat and sun decks with the crew's accommodation on the lower decks.

Cruise ship design consideration

In a ship such as 'Song of Norway' intended for cruising in hot climates, an effective air-conditioning system is essential. This ship is completely airconditioned, having a system whose capacity is close to that of the much larger liner 'France'. The system is of Svenska Flaktfabriken design and all cabins have individual thermostatic temperature control. Compressors for the system are Turbopark 37 type units of York make having a total cooling capacity of 4 340 000 kcal/h. Another factor to be considered in a cruise ship , which may spend several days in a port of call, is compliance with regulations concerning discharge of sewage. This ship has sufficient tank capacity to hold treated sewage, not shower water, accumulated over a fourday period. This has involved the provision of nine separate tanks.

Wherever possible throughout the vessel Wartsila or associated companies have supplied equipment for the ship, including such items as glass doors, deck cranes, watertight sliding doors, steering gear, etc, which are usually of sub-contractors supply, and this has enabled them to control delivery of these items to ensure that no major delays occurred through late deliveries.

There is a combined wheelhouse chartroom, the deck of which is carpeted. The front bulkhead has been kept clear of instrumentation, this being housed in free-standing consoles for or attached to the after bulkhead. To the left is a console containing the Burk-Nautik manoeuvring recorder and Walker log in addition to instrumentation connected with the Anschutz automatic pilot and course recorder. Centrally placed is the Anschutz steering stand. To the right of this is the propulsion console for control of the twin KaMeWa controllable pitch propellers and the KaMeWa bow thruster. The bow thruster is driven by a 1000 hp motor of Stromberg supply and the unit develops a lateral thrust of 11 tons. Similar propulsion stands are situated on each bridge wing. A 16-in Raytheon radar set stands to the right of the wheelhouse propulsion console.

66

The chartroom contains a further Raytheon radar set, Sal log, Simrad echosounder and Plath visual direction finder. A Loran receiver of Japan Radio Co. supply and radio telephone of Nera make are also fitted. On the back of the chart table is the control panel for the Sperry Gyrofin retractable fin type stabilisers.

Two large control and indicator panels on the after bulkhead show the state of the fire alarms and fire doors and of the ship's various lighting systems.

Boats having a total capacity of 1208 persons form the main part of the ship's life saving equipment.

Deck gear, windlasses, etc. have been supplied by Pusnes Mekaniske Verksted and the vessel has a cathodic protection system of Skarpenord design. Paints have been supplied by international Jotun Fabrikker.

Propelling machinery

67

Propulsion machinery for this twin screw ship consists of four medium-speed Sulzer 9ZH 40/80 diesel engines built under licence by Wartsila. Each is fitted with three Brown Boveri VTR 320U turbo-chargers. The engines are connected in pairs, through reducing gearing type GVA 1400 H. and Pneumaflex KAE 360 elastic clutch / couplings to two fourbladed KaMeWa controllable pitch propellers having a diameter of 4000 mm. Service rating of the engines is 4500 bhp at 410 rev / min, to give a service speed of 21 knots.

Fuel having a viscosity of 600 secs Redwood No.1 will normally be burnt but fuel of 800 or 1000 secs can be used if necessary. Separators for fuel and lubricating oil are of Wartsila type. A Graviner oil mist detector is fitted.

Control equipment

Control of the machinery installation and principal auxiliaries is centralised in a soundproofed and air-conditioned control room located at C - deck level, above the main engine room. The monitoring and control installation has been designed to the requirements of Det norske Veritas for the classification

68

EQ, although full advantage cannot be taken of this as for passenger vessels the regulations require that the engine room be manned.

A SAAB 110/04 Mk II monitoring system having about 200 analogue transducers and 160 on/off alarm functions protects the machinery installation. This equipment is housed in a large console standing in the centre of the spacious control room and in front of this is the main engine control stand. Also in the control room are panels for control and indication of the state of freshwater tanks, the air - conditioning system, heating and lighting and bilge and engine water systems. There is also a small cabinet for control of the fin stabilizers.

The main control console is in seven sections. From the left these comprise an alarm logger, steam and exhaust gas boiler condition indicators, instrumentation indicating temperatures and pressures of engines Nos. 3 and 4 instrumentation for systems required by all four engines, fuel and lubricating oil for example, a panel showing the condition of engines Nos. 1 and 2, further boiler gear gauges with a subsidiary panel for bow thruster control and finally a second alarm logger.

The panels dealing with the engines, in pairs, also show the condition of the rest of the power train, the gear-box, clutches and shafting.

To find out the temperature or pressure at any of the position monitors it is only necessary to press the required button and the reading is shown in digital form on an electronic counter.

Starting of the main engines must take place from the engine room although provision is made at the stand in the control room for each engine to be clutched in or out. Propeller pitch setting and engine speed can also be controlled from here as well as from the bridge.

Electricity requirements are met by six 940 kVA alternators driven by Wartsila 814 Tk diesel engines. These supply electricity at 420 V. There is an emergency generating set having an output of 250 kVA. These alternators and other electrical equipment for 'Song of Norway' including transformers, motors, the fire alarm and fire door closing gear, distribution board, equipment for special lighting effects, etc. have all been supplied by Oy Stromberg Ab. The generators are designed to run with an output of about
