The luxurious interiors were designed in Art Deco and Streamline Moderne style. The majority of the public space was assigned to first-class passengers, including the dining room, first-class lounge, grille room, first-class swimming pool, theatre, and winter garden. The interiors were filled with grand perspectives, spectacular entryways, and long, wide staircases. First-class suites were given unique designs by select designers. The most luxurious accommodations were the Deauville and Trouville apartments, featuring dining rooms, baby grand pianos, multiple bedrooms, and private decks.[34] These have inspired the luxury apartments proposed.
