Each CMV Magellan cruise ship cabin has an en-suite bathroom (shower cubicle with plastic curtain, single-sink vanity, toilet, hairdryer, bathrobes), sleeping area (twin bed or two twins, some convertible to a Queen-size double bed, bedside tables, Stillform mattresses), living area, wardrobe (ample drawer and hanging space), mirrored vanity/dressing table with chair, direct-dial phone, electronic safe, mini-bar/fridge, individual air-conditioning (controlled via a twist knob), LCD TV, wall lighting, and nightly turndown service.
