Seabourn Names Third New Vessel Seabourn Quest |
||||||||||||||||
|
The Yachts of Seabourn has announced that Seabourn
Quest will be the name of its newest vessel. Seabourn Quest will debut in June
2011. Seabourn Quest will be the third of the sleek design that first appeared
on Seabourn Odyssey in June. The second sister, Seabourn Sojourn, will debut
next June in Greenwich, England, and is already selling strongly for its maiden
year. Together, the three new vessels represent a capacity increase of over 200
percent for the line in a three-year period, underlining the company’s
confidence in a burgeoning demand for top-shelf cruising options in the leisure
travel market. The three new Seabourn yachts are 32,000 tons and carry 450
guests each. Last September, the cruise line launched a contest inviting people to guess the name they will give to the newest ship, with a complimentary cruise for two aboard the vessel as the prize. The contest drew more than 2,100 email responses by the time it closed on Dec. 31. The contest winner is Kevin Staub of Newtown, Pa., who submitted “Quest” along with 15 other suggestions on Oct. 12. Staub wasn’t alone in admiring the name, and so his name was drawn at random from a pool of 120 contestants who submitted correct guesses. Staub and his guest will enjoy a complimentary seven-day cruise on Quest during the vessel’s maiden year of operation. Seabourn’s new yachts include a gathering spot called Seabourn Square, which replaces the traditional reception lobby with a club-like room that combines a library, Internet café and a guest services center with a social lounge and konditerei-style coffee bar. The ships have four dining venues, six bars and lounges and a range of open decks and terraces. With its expanded fleet, The Yachts of Seabourn offers travelers new itineraries, including year-round sailings in Asia aboard Seabourn Pride exploring Vietnam, Thailand, China, Korea and Japan. For a limited time, many of these voyages are being offered with free round-trip business-class airfare. The new vessels will continue to offer popular itineraries such as Europe, the Mediterranean, the Americas and annual World Cruises. |
