For a history of the Thomson Destiny (today sailing as the Louis Olympia), see the first entry on her.
The photographs below show a selection of interior images from the Thomson Destiny, taken during my January 2007 cruise on her. These are not my best-ever interior shots, which is partially explained by the fact this was just the third time I had conciously attempted to document a ship's interior (the first time was the Isabella back in 1994). But I think these are interesting never the less, particularly as the ship has since changed names.

 |
| The Cristoffer Columbus suite sounded grand but wasn't an actual suite as there was only a single room. |
 |
| Mind you, the people who had paid for the cheapest possible inside cabin did not complain. The lovely mrs Id demonstrates the correct operation of a bed. |
 |
| Going downwards a bit, Blake's café on deck 7. This was a bit out of the way and we only visited it once. |
 |
| The Oklahoma Lounge, aft on deck 5, was one of the two main entertainment venues. |
 |
| Oklohoma Lounge looking both older and more stylish than it actually was. |
 |
| The venue for the nightly shows was the Can-Can Lounge (forward of Oklahoma Lounge). We thought the song-and-dance routines performed were frankly boring, but most of the passengers seemed to love them. |

| Reception area on deck 4. |
 |
| A stair lobby, probably the forward one on deck 4. |
