This page offers two different Deck Plans of the TSS Fairstar, one is from her early days and her internal layout that remained much the same until she became a cruise ship, it was only in the early 1980’s that she received a comprehensive refit and a good number of changes were made. The second Deck Plan further down the page is the last plan ever released when she was the P&O Fairstar with her famed Dolphin funnel which came with her 1993 refit, being also her final refit, for by 1997 the 41 year old girl was getting old and thus she was sold to be broken up!
