SEABOURN QUEST Seabourn Quest is the third iteration of the vessel design that has been called “a game-changer for the luxury segment.” Built at the T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, she was named in Barcelona on June 20, 2011. True to her Seabourn bloodlines, wherever she sails around the world, Seabourn Quest carries with her a bevy of award-winning dining venues that are comparable to the finest restaurants to be found anywhere. Seabourn Quest offers a variety of dining options to suit every taste and every mood, with never an extra charge. The Restaurant is the main dining venue on board, serving multi-course breakfasts, luncheons and dinners in an open-seating style amid a refined setting of gleaming white linens, polished alabaster walls, flowing sheer draperies and glittering crystal chandeliers. Menus reflect an insistence on fresh, high-quality ingredients, masterful preparation and appealing presentations. In a signature Seabourn salute to personalization, guests are invited to order from the Restaurant menu during extended service hours, and have their meal served in the privacy of their suites or on their verandas. Located all the way aft on Deck 8, the Colonnade is a more casual, very popular indoor/outdoor option serving lavish station-style buffet breakfasts and lunches. Dinners in the Colonnade are regionally-themed menus prepared in the open kitchen and served at table. Restaurant 2 is an intimate setting where guests can enjoy innovative small-plates …

Kreuzfahrtschiff Costa Concordia Luxusliner Unglück – Überlebender schildert seine Erlebnisse und Eindrücke Die Costa Concordia lief am Freitag, den 13. Januar 2012 gegen 19 Uhr MEZ aus dem Hafen von Civitavecchia aus. Sie befand sich auf einer Kreuzfahrt durch das westliche Mittelmeer auf dem Weg nach Savona, von wo aus sie dann über Marseille, Barcelona, Palma und Cagliari Palermo anlaufen sollte. Die auf der Route liegende Insel Giglio wurde relativ dicht auf ihrer Ostseite passiert, was auch früher schon geschehen sein soll, offenbar um die Insel mit dem Schiffshorn zu grüßen, wie auch auf einem Video aus dem Jahr 2011 zu sehen ist. Ebenfalls im Jahr 2011 bedankte sich der Bürgermeister von Giglio beim damaligen Kapitän nach einer solchen Vorbeifahrt schriftlich.

Nach Angaben der Feuerwehr gab es auch auf der Steuerbordseite des Schiffs Beschädigungen des Rumpfes. Die im Baujahr gültigen Bauvorschriften verlangten, dass bei einem Leck bis zwölf Meter Länge die Stabilität des …
