The hull is painted black with brick red at the waterline and a fine yellow stripe at main deck level running the entire length of the vessel, and white bulwarks.

The main superstructure is positioned amidships and has a promenade deck running its entire length. Above the promenade is a shelter deck. The bridge house is set back slightly and is flanked by two rectangular bridge wings and an open look-out above. The boat deck has seven pairs of lifeboats on port and starboard sides, all painted white with grey covers, and stowed on davits. Between the lifeboats is a pair of funnels painted yellow each with a broad white stripe and two narrow black stripes. Forward and aft of the funnels are two skylights. At the aft end of the promenade deck is a single large hatch and aft of it is a small raised boat deck with a pair of boats stowed on davits and between them, a main mast rigged with a derrick. The aft deck has two small hatches with a companion way above them linking the promenade boat deck with two further boat decks, one of which has a pair of davits and two lifeboats, the other a pair of lifeboats.
