#86: RASSELAS—203'4"

If you compare interior photos of this Rasselas to her predecessor, another Feadship about 30 feet smaller, you might conclude that she’s a carbon copy. But in reality, there are big differences between the two, though mostly on the technology side. One stylistic difference, though, is evident right below the mast: An open area can be enclosed (with windows) to become an air-conditioned dining or relaxation spot.
