ANDREA DORIA The Grand Dame of the Sea

CABIN CLASS

Cabin Class was the formal name for Second Class.  Rates for Cabin Class accommodations, all of which had air-conditioning, on the Andrea Doria's 1953 Mediterranean route ranged from $260 - $350, depending on the season and type/location of the cabin.

The most notable difference between Cabin Class and First Class is the presence of bunk beds in the Cabin Class rooms. The cactus print visible in the right image was a common pattern throughout most of the Cabin Class rooms.

The Cabin Class pool was just aft and down one deck from the First Class pool, and it lacked the slide that First Class passengers were able to enjoy in their pool.  When built, the Andrea Doria was the only ship with three outdoor pools conducting trans-Atlantic voyages.  The elegant paintings in the Cabin Class pool bar was completed by Tommasini.
