The Magna Carta has two decks: the lower
deck boasting four full-width luxurious staterooms each averaging 200
square feet; while the upper deck comprises the main salon and dining
areas with large picture windows and stylish furnishings. Outside you
have the sundeck with comfortable seating and the spa pool/jacuzzi.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Each suite (approximately 200 sq.ft or 91m2) has four opening windows, beautiful hard wood finishes to floors and walls, and are equipped with hair dryers, ample hanging and drawer space, writing desk, bedside tables, television with DVD, and comfortable beds with finest cotton bedding. Three suites can be configured as a King or Twins and the fourth suite (Christopher Wren) has a King.
The Henry VIII and Christopher Wren suites are at the stern end of the barge and are accessed from one set of stairs leading down from the saloon. The William Shakespeare and the Winston Churchill suites are at the bow end of the barge and accessed from a separate set of stairs leading down from the saloon. There are three steps between the level on which the William Shakespeare cabin is located and the level on which the Winston Churchill cabin is located.
CEILING HEIGHTS:
The ceiling height of Winston Churchill Suite is 7ft 4” (2.25m) (we recommend this suite if you are tall).
SIZE OF THE BEDS:
As double beds they are 6ft x 6ft 6” (1.8m x 2.0m) and as Twin Beds each bed is 3ft x 6ft 6” (0.9m x 2.0m)
BATHROOMS:
Each suite has an en-suite bathroom 9ft x 4ft (2.7m x 1.2m) All suites have showers, basin and W.C. The bathrooms are fully tiled with under floor heating and heated towel rail. There is a thermostatic shower in a large tray. Wall hung contemporary basin with a single tap. There is also a window, 110v razor socket and air extractor. Towels, washing gel, hand soap, shampoo, hair dryers and bathrobes are provided
The upper deck is the saloon with tinted picture windows offering the finest panoramic views to three aspects. Four Italian leather sofas provide extremely comfortable seating adjacent to fully stocked bar, library with many reference books, a compendium of games, comprehensive CD collection with music to suit many tastes and a fine fining area close to the fully fitted professional galley from which the most exquisite dishes are delivered. The saloon has air-conditioning for comfort when necessary.
Leading from the saloon are the split-level sun decks offering hard
wood table with parasol, chairs and steamer chairs. There are safety
railings all round and sunk within the upper level is a large Jacuzzi,
hot and bubbling, to render complete relaxation for our passengers.
The wheelhouse is the nerve centre of the ship and for anyone interested, another view of Magna Carta with the opportunity to hear river tales and gossip or even try their hand at the wheel.
The captains suite is an original part of the ship comprising living room, bedroom and shower room. The suite is fully panelled with mahogany, incorporating the finest marquetry and marble. For charter only this accommodation may be made available, thus enabling Magna Carta to carry 9 or 10 passengers.
