||||||||||||||||
|
Seabourn took delivery of the new 450-guest
Seabourn Quest on May 31 at the T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Italy. The
all-suite ship is the third vessel constructed by Mariotti for Seabourn's fleet,
completing a three-year expansion that increased the ultra-luxury line's
capacity by more than 200 percent. “We are very pleased and excited to take delivery of Seabourn Quest," said Richard Meadows, Seabourn’s president. “She is a beautiful vessel, and I have no doubt she will earn as much praise from the experts, and as much affection from our guests as her two sister-ships. Her officers, staff and crew are ready to welcome travelers on board to experience Seabourn-style cruising on our newest ship.”  Blythe
Danner, the Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress, will serve as godmother and
name the ship during a sunset ceremony at the port of Barcelona on June 20,
2011. The ship will then depart that evening on a 14-day maiden voyage to
Athens, stopping at seaside towns in France, Italy, Greece and Turkey.Seabourn Quest's maiden season includes seven-day Eastern Mediterranean cruises, operating alternately between Athens and Istanbul, and Venice and Athens, as well as a seven-day Black Sea voyage. In the fall, the ship will sail across the Atlantic Ocean from Malaga, Spain, to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where it will sail on a series of roundtrip voyages in the Caribbean. On Jan. 5, 2012, Seabourn Quest will begin a 109-day maiden world cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Venice on an eastbound course via South America, South Africa, the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean. Seabourn Quest is the third in a line of ships that began with Seabourn Odyssey in June 2009. The second sister-ship, Seabourn Sojourn, entered service in June 2010. For more information - here |
