Seabourn confirms third new-build ship

Tuesday, 6 November 20073 min read

Luxury line Yachts of Seabourn has exercised an option for a third new ship.

The 200 million euros vessel is due for delivery in summer 2011.

Seabourn Odyssey, the first in the series of new 450-passenger vessels, is to enter service in June 2009, followed by a sister ship 12 months later.

Seabourn president Pam Conover said: “Our decision to order a third ship is based partly on the enthusiasm we have already seen for our new ship design.

“That enthusiasm, combined with research indicating a continuing robust expansion in demand for ultra luxury cruising in general, convinces us that we have the right formula at the right time.”
