There is a defined area on deck to separate pedestrians from vehicles. A powered door opened by a push button leads to the stairway from the deck to the passenger lounge. There is a 50mm threshold to this door. The stairway consists of 26 steps in 2 rises. There is also a passenger lift accessed by a separate door with shallow ramp at deck level. The lift doors are quite heavy so wheelchair users may require assistance. The passenger lounge is large and well lit with drop down seats without arm rests. There is ample space for wheelchairs and it offers splendid views thanks to the large low level windows. In addition to the male and female toilets there is a large unisex accessible toilet suitable for wheelchairs. Tactile signs are fitted to toilet doors. This is situated near the top of the stairs / lift.

Alternative vessel is MV Fivla and is used when main ferries are undergoing maintenance. (Details of MV Fivla can be found on the general information page)
