Are there anycruises that have an underwater deck

[TheFluffyCruisingOtter]

Is there such a thing as a cruise with a negative 1 deck that can let you see under the ocean? If not that's a really cool idea.

I have heard that a new ship is coming out with an underwater viewing room, but can't remember which line. It would be neat.

Under current international safety regulations , passengers aren't allowed below the waterline. This is the same reason why all sleeping accommodations are above the waterline.

"..... French expedition cruise company Ponant is getting in on the game by launching the first-ever underwater lounge at sea. Blue Eye, a sleek, multi-sensory space, will be unveiled on the brand’s four new Ponant Explorers: Le Bougainville, Le Dumont-d'Urville, Le Lapérouse and Le Champlain."

Doesn't the Celebrity Infinity have a small 'window' that allows you to see beneath the ship?

 

Could be wrong of course :D

While it may be correct that no passenger cabins are allowed below the waterline (and I can't find a SOLAS citation regarding this), it is not correct that "passengers aren't allowed below the waterline". If you've ever taken a "behind the scenes" tour to the ship's laundry, you are below the waterline.

 

 

One reason there aren't passenger cabins below the waterline is the need for watertight doors at intervals along these decks, and the requirement that these be closed while at sea, requiring lots of stairwells to go up above the subdivision deck and then back down to get from one cabin to the one next door if it is on the other side of the watertight door.

We were on a river cruise with our window about 8 inches high. It was near the ceiling. water level was the middle of the window.

Not that I have ever heard of or seen. The Millennium class ships, which Infinity is, do have two small windows in the floor of the bridge to look down at the edge of the ship when docking.

Hi all!

 

Seems to me there was a window in the floor of an eating place on Infinity as I remember getting a surprise when I moved my chair.

Sometimes on a river cruise the lower cabins can be in the water, I remember an occupant saying they could see the ducks feet going by!

It would be great to have an underwater viewing area.

The Oceanview Cafe extends out beyond the decks below on both M-class and S-class. I remember seeing "windows" in the floor in the Oceanview on M-class; not sure about S-class.

Really? What ship?

Every River ship I've seen on 10 or so River cruises have had its windows above the waterline. Nmuch of the cabin is below the water line, but not the window.
