The photographer is close alongside the ship looking up and slightly aft showing two of the ship's officers standing at the head of the forward accommodation ladder which has been lowered using the forward davit of number 3 lifeboat. The ship is dressed overall and is depicted in all white livery with the modifications to the promenade decks enclosures that were made prior to the start of the 1937 cruising season.
