The Yachts of Seabourn welded coins onto two blocks that will become the hulls of two new ships due out in 2010 and 2011. The luxury line held a ceremony July 1 in San Giorgio Di Nogaro, Italy, to mark the occasion. The ceremony, which was officiated by Seabourn President and CEO Pamela Conover and Marco Bisagno, president of T. Mariotti shipyard, marks the beginning of the next stage in a three-vessel expansion project that will increase Seabourn’s capacity by over 217 percent in the next three years. The first of the three hulls, which will become Seabourn Odyssey, was delivered in late May to Mariotti’s shipyard in Genoa, Italy, where it will be finished and fitted out over the next year, prior to delivery in June 2009. It will represent the first newbuild in the ultra-luxury end of the cruise industry in over six years. Carrying 450 guests, the ship will feature ocean-view suites measuring from 295 to over 1,600 square feet, 90 percent of which will boast private verandas. Additional features include five dining venues, a concierge lounge called Seabourn Square, and an indoor/outdoor spa facility of over 11,400 square feet spread over two decks. The company said Seabourn Odyssey’s maiden season, which will start in the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea regions, has been selling briskly since it became available for booking in October 2007. The Seabourn Odyssey will also embark on a 108-day World Cruise in January 2010 from Fort Lauderdale to Athens, Greece. Reservations for that voyage are likewise available and selling well, the company said.
