Author: 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 Berichten von Passagieren und AIS-Daten, rammte das Schiff gegen 21:45 Uhr MEZ einen Felsen; der VDR des Schiffs hat als Kollisionszeitpunkt 21:45 und 5 Sekunden MEZ registriert. Als Kollisionsfelsen wird in der italienischen Presse das Riff „Le Scole” genannt, das sich knapp südlich des Ortes Giglio Porto in unmittelbarer Landnähe befindet. In der Backbordseite klafft ein etwa 70 Meter langer Riss. Auf Bildern deutlich sichtbar ist ein mehrere Meter großes Felsstück, das im Rumpf steckt. 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 …

I want to sail to Europe instead of flying, but I don’t want to take a cruise. I want to sail across the Atlantic, be dropped off and spend awhile in Europe and then sail back across the Atlantic. I don’t want to stay on a ship and have them show me Europe. Does anyone know of a company who provides ships that cross the Atlantic?

Seabourn Spirit The second of Seabourn’s intimate, all-suite vessels was launched in November, 1989. Built at the Schichau Seebeckwerft shipyard in Bremerhaven, Germany, Seabourn Spirit was christened by Aagot Brynestad, the mother of Seabourn founder Atle Brynestad. Seabourn Spirit’s 104 ocean-view suites quickly filled with eager travelers, attracted by the unique combination of features that had garnered praises for its sister-ship Seabourn Pride. A variety of lounges and bars, scaled for relaxed sociability, invite guests to get to know each other. Complimentary service of fine wines and spirits contributes to a convivial, club-like atmosphere both here and on the open teak decks, where guests find plenty of comfortable seating both in the sun and shade, and ever-attentive service including full bar service, fresh fruit smoothies and sherbets, mineral water spritzes, frozen towels and even sun lotion and sunglass cleaning. A pair of large whirlpool spas grace the sun deck, and a third one is set all the way forward on Deck 5, perfect for watching the world go by . On certain days in warm water destinations, the captain will anchor off an inviting stretch of beach and deploy the ship’s unique fold-out watersports Marina, creating a private island resort where guests can water-ski, sail, swim or snorkel right from the ship. Each Seabourn sister has a main show lounge capable of seating all guests, and an observation lounge with panoramic views on Deck 8 above the …
