The OLYMPIC VOYAGER's cabin accommodation ranges from the 375 square foot Sky Suites with their huge terraces to comfortable interior staterooms. All cabins contain the following amenities: mini-bar, television, hair dryer, full length mirror, and vanity table. Each can be converted from two single beds to one double. The bathrooms have marble floors and vanities as well as conveniently-placed fittings. The colors were chosen to emphasize an atmosphere of serenity and spaciousness. In each cabin, there are prints by Alechinsky (with an emphasis on simplicity and joy) or Pasmore (Mediterranean inspired landscapes).

Of the twelve Sky Suites on Helios Deck, the aft units on either side, 7011 and 7012, are the largest. The first units on either side, 7001 and 7002, are slightly smaller than the rest and are configured in a fore-to-aft layout. However, their balconies are the largest of all.

Sky Suites 7003, 7004, 7005, 7006, 7007, 7008, 7009, and 7010 are identical and come with bedroom and sitting area divided by a lanai-style screen.

The second highest category is comprised of the sixteen Bay Window Suites, which afford an excellent, if enclosed view over the surging seas. The aftermost units, 5032 and 5033, are particularly popular as they provide the most dramatic vistas.

The Bay Window Suites are located on Selene Deck and average 215 square feet. The aftermost units, 5032 and 5033 are slightly larger.

The beautifully-finished bathrooms in the top two categories are slightly larger and offer tubs in addition to showers; otherwise, the bathrooms are pretty much identical in all the cabin categories.

The third highest category of accommodation aboard OLYMPIC VOYAGER are the twenty four Deluxe Junior Suites. Located on midships Venus Deck, they average 183 square feet and feature large picture windows.

There are three variations of the 212 Deluxe Ocean View Staterooms (TA, TB, and TC). They feature picture windows and average 140 square feet.

Twenty eight Superior Ocean View Staterooms can be found on Neptune Deck. They vary slightly from the Deluxe Ocean View category, featuring large portholes in lieu of picture windows.

There are four categories of Standard Inside Staterooms (DA, D, F, and G). They are located on Selene, Venus, Dionysus, and Neptune Decks.

The four handicap-access cabins (5034, 5036, 5053, 5055) are located on Midships Selene Deck. With extra floor space for a greater wheelchair radius and specially-placed fixtures, they also feature wider doors.

The handicap-access cabins feature larger, specially modified bathrooms.

Four very interesting cabins round out our look at OLYMPIC VOYAGER's accommodation. The FC category units, located at the forward and aft ends of Dionysus Deck, feature bedroom areas with separate "living rooms" that can be converted to bedrooms for large families. The bedroom areas are typical Deluxe Ocean View Staterooms, while the smaller adjacent rooms do not have windows or portholes.

Update 2006: Since this article, OLYMPIC VOYAGER was renamed OLYMPIA VOYAGER after pressure from the International Olympic Organisation. The Royal Olympic subsidiary which owned OLYMPIA VOYAGER filed for bankruptcy, ultimately bringing down Royal Olympic Cruises. The vessel now owned by V-Ships group, and is chartered to Iberojet. Renamed VOYAGER, but is marketed as GRAND VOYAGER
