The Crown Jewel can carry 916 passengers arranged in 410 cabins (355 standard cabins, 38 luxury staterooms and 10 suites), and car- ries a crew of 304.

The dining room, on deck four aft, is encased in panoramic windows on three sides, providing passengers an excellent view. Deck five con- tains various public spaces, such as the Casino, shops and Harry's Bar and an open-air promenade. The solarium on deck eight includes an outdoor swimming pool with jacuzzies, a gym, sauna, massage area, aerobic facility, deck games, jogging circuit, video game rooms and a children's playroom.

The vessel was constructed in ac- cordance with IMO regulations and the ship's fire protection system ex- ceeds the applicable international requirements by virtue of a complex smoke detection installation.

The full complement of electron- ics equipment on the Crown Jewel includes: SAIT VHF radios; ITT SSB radios; Sperry radar, compass and autopilot; and Furuno echosounder.

The cruise ship is completely au- tomated, with its mechanical sys- tem visualized on a monitor and operated from a mainframe com- puter and various control stations in the control room and on the bridge.

The Crown Jewel can reach a top speed of 21 knots with an ample margin that enable her to maintain that speed regardless of weather con- ditions. Sound and vibration levels onboard are extremely low. For example, in cabins, sound is below 55 db A, and the vibration readings are below three mm/s at the major- ity of the 200 points measured, and a no point do the vibration reading reach four mm/s.

An innovative feature to the ves- sel is her waste disposal system.

Organic wastes, burnables, glass and tin cans are treated separately, mak- ing it unnecessary to release waste materials of any kind into the sea.

FINCANTIERI

Statendam

Dubbed the European ship built for Americans, the 54,000-dwt luxury cruise ship Statendam was con- structed by Italy's Fincantieri (IRI

Group) and delivered to Holland

America Line, a Carnival Cruise

Lines controlled company, late in 1992.

The Statendam is the first in a series of three ships to be built by the

Fincantieri Monfalcone Yard for

Holland America, with the Maasdam and the Ryndam due for delivery at the end of 1993 and 1994 respec- tively.

The 722-foot Statendam is de- signed to carry a total of 2,100 pas- sengers and 633 crew. The ship has a 101-foot breadth and a 24.5-foot draft

The interior of the ship earned it its reputation, as it sports modern artwork and classic touches such as ceramic benches, decorative wall panels, and a 28-foot high bronze fountain in the atrium.

The vessel is powered by

Fincantieri Diesel Engine Division- built Sulzer engines. It was con-
