In design the "Georgic" was essentially a slightly larger version of her earlier sister ship "Britannic", having a gross tonnage of 27,759, compared with "Britannic"s 26,943. "Georgic" differed in appearance from "Britannic" in that the forward part of her superstructure and bridge was rounded instead of straight, and the front part of her promenade deck was covered. Like "Britannic", "Georgic" had two short stumpy funnels, the forward one of which was a dummy which housed the radio room and the engineers smoke room.
