Her exterior and interior design were both penned by Donald Starkey Design while her naval architecture was created by William Garden. She underwent a refit between the years 2013-2014 that gave her an aft bridge deck extension, a new large Jacuzzi and a complete interior overhaul. She is now kitted out with a light and airy palette throughout which contrasts nicely against her wood panelling. A stand-out feature of Sheherazade is her top-VIP suite that has its own sun deck and dining area.
