Burma).

Ankündigung auf der SCENIC Website

1ft= 0.3048000m

Die Kategorien zur Buchung beginnen bei den Veranda Suite mit 32m² und enden in der Eigner Penthouse Suite von 232m², mit zwei Schlafräumen ... wenn man sich etwas einschränkt ...

Bei einigen Suiten wird in meinen Augen zwar mit diesem Begriff "geschummelt", denn es sind im Grunde `big staterooms´, also "nur" Kabinen. In der oberen Buchungskategorie werden auf den SCENIC ECLIPSE aber echte Suiten angeboten ... mehr als auf EUROPA 2 (vier). Denn Suiten sind immer noch eine Folge von Räumen.

Die SCENIC ECLIPSE wird mit der höchsten Eisklasse (Polar Class 6 / Ice Class 1A Super) und einer Doppelhülle versehen sein, damit sie mit ihren maximal 228 Gästen an Bord auch in den Polarmeeren kreuzen kann. Hierzu kommt auch die Tatsache, dass nur noch 350 Gäste maximal in der Antarktis an Land dürfen. Für die SCENIC ECLIPSE sollte das also kein Problem darstellen, denn auf diesen Fahrten werden nur 200 Gäste an Bord sein, um ihnen ein wiederholtes Anland gehen in der Antarktis zu ermöglichen.
Safety First - die SCENIC ECLIPSE ist nicht nur als luxuriöse Discorevery Yacht geplant, sondern erfüllt höchste Sicherheitsnormen, und implementiert neueste Technologien. So war die Klassifizierungsgesellschaft BUREAU VERITAS bei der Planung für das neue Schiff des autralischen Veranstalters SCENIC von Beginn an beteiligt.
Die SCENIC ECLIPSE wird durch zwei diesel-elektrische Motoreinheiten und zwei Azipods angetrieben. Die Discovery Yacht erfüllt auch die SOLAS Bestimmung Safe-Return-to-Port, durch getrennte Maschinenräume. Dazu gehört zudem ein modernes Ballastwasser Management, sowie Abwasser Reinigungssystem, Abfall Vorhaltung und am Ende steht dann ein Green Passport.

SCENIC bietet auf der Hochsee für seine Discovery Yacht, wie auf den Flüssen dieser Welt, sein All-Inklusive Konzept an. Keine Sondergebühren für die unterschiedlichen Restaurants, alle Getränke, der Butler Service und einiges mehr. Alles exklusiv, alles inklusiv ... sagte einmal Elmar Gunsch.
Die Volumenanbieter müssen sich vor dem neuen SCENIC Angebot zur See nicht fürchten, denn die Reisen auf der SCENIC ECLIPSE werden ein wenig teurer angeboten. Die Anbieter von Luxuskreiuzfahrten dürften den Eintritt dieses neuen Wettbewerbers sehr aufmerksam beobachten. Schließlich will SCENIC in der Ozean Kreuzfahrt, speziell im Markt der Discoveries/Entdeckungen und Expeditionen hinsichtlich der Technologie, Sicherheit, Carbon Footprint, Schiffsgröße und Luxus an Bord neue Maßstäbe setzen. "So it is time for us, to take you beyand the horizon."

Ocean Liners in Movies or Films at Sea (updated Nov 2017)

For liners and the shipping companies movies and films had been a top marketing tool Movies or Films and liners at sea, had been intriguing me since I have read about in my youth in LUXUSLINER - BILDER EINER GROSSEN ZEIT by Lee Server ( THE GOLDEN AGE OF OCEAN LINERS ). But earlier, mot only since my first crossing, I was keen watching movies with liners in it, and disapointed, which was an understatement, when I realized the films have been made in a set ashore in some movie "factory".

HISTORY - The CUNARD - WHITE STAR Liner rms QUEEN ELIZABETH (1938-1972)

Over years, in my early youth, the QUEEN ELIZABETH was shaping my mind for the perfect ocean liner, despite having made my first experiences with a liner onboard the HANSEATIC (1), ex EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND, ex EMPRESS OF JAPAN. When leaning at the rail of HANSEATIC entering the port, my eyes where every where and I wished to by a camera, I took all in. And when seeing the QUEEN ELIZABETH with my own eyes, the nice behaving young boy turned into a tomboy, that my grandmére was no longer able to tame ... I did draw quite a lot of looks, back then. I found, while on research, this article and thought it interesting publishing in my blog: written and published by John Sheperd at liverpoolships.org editing and comments by Earl of Cruise I ( John Shepard ) joined the CUNARD LINE in March 1962 as an Assistant Purser and sailed the QUEEN ELIZABETH throughout that year, before transferring to the Liverpool-based CARINTHIA in November, where I remained as Crew Purser for the next five...
