by Earl of Cruise

Burma). Jetzt hat SCENIC angekündigt ein Schiff, und ein weiteres in Option bei der kroatischen ULJANIK GROUP bestellt zu haben, wovon das erste, die SCENIC ECLIPSE im Sommer 2018 in Dienst gehen soll.
Die neue Ozean Division von SCENIC geht mit dem luxuriösesten Expeditions Cruiser in den Markt.

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."

HISTORY - ss LA BOURGOGNE - Women and Children last

What had happend on sinking LA BOURGOGNE? Why had been so few women and children been rescued ? by João Martins , editing by Earl of Cruise ss LA BOURGOGNE - editors collection From our viewpoint of today we see this disaster of ss LA BOURGOGNE as one of egoism and the right of the stronger, with no "heroism", or stepping back for the weak to be saved. And we blame the crew for not doing their duty ... Are we allowed to judge? Are we allowed to chide? Are we alowed to claime it as typical ... for the seamanship of France - I have heard and read so! - ? No, we have not been on board. This tragedy is not the place to be chauvinistic!

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 ).

F&B, Style - A Beautiful Jug, a Cup and a Bucket

About a jug, a cup, a champagne bucket. by Richard Arebalo for the Texas Wine and Food Foundation editing by Earl of Cruise I’ve collected antique silver for many years, but lately the pace has accelerated and the size of the collection has grown the more I am inspired by the beautiful scenes in Downton Abbey. While watching my guilty pleasure, I am particularly drawn to the details of preparing, presenting and serving the food and wine. In every kitchen scene depicting frantic food preparation, there is always a gallery of beautiful copper pots and dessert molds in the background. In the dining room, be it breakfast or dinner, table settings and service pieces are stunning and, thanks to the show’s historical advisor, Alastair Bruce, meticulously accurate for the period. top and below, Tastevin - courtesy TEXAS WINE & FOOD I can definitely imagine seeing Mr. Carson, the butler, using a couple of my recent wine-related purchases--an Edwardian wine ewer fr...

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.
