by Earl of Cruise
Der australische Kreuzfahrtanbieter und Reeder für Deluxe Flusskreuzfahrten, SCENIC CRUISES, ist bekannt für seine luxuriösen Schiffe auf den Flüssen Europas, Russlands und Südost-Asiens (Mekong und Irrawaddy/Mynmar ehem. 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."

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". That was after my first crossing. by Earl of Cruise an essay in progress `Sabrina´, Humphrey Bogart in the office, while LIBERTÉ is sailing out of New York harbor - screenshot Ocean liners, especially those of the luxury category, had been the location of dramas, love stories, thrillers, suspense and catastrophies sinde film was born, or nearly.

HISTORY - Traveling with airliner LZ 129 HINDENBURG was the most luxurious airtravel

The real airliner LZ 129 HINDENBURG enabled the most luxurious airtravel for decades. Imagine, gliding through the air while the landscape or the sea below can be seen ... LZ 129 HINDENBURG marks the climax of airship construction. On May 6, 1937, the story of civilian airship ended in a tragedy. In Lakehurst, New Jersey, the largest flying object and has been with the similar sized LZ 130 GRAF ZEPPELIN II the most luxurious of all time. How this came about can be reconstructed logically, a series of fatal physics concatenations . The airship LZ 129 HINDENBURG marks the climax of airship construction. It was in its time the fastest and most exclusive traveling object between Europe and America.

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

HISTORY - Italian TITANIC - The sinking of ss PRINCIPESSA MAFALDA

Despite rms TITANIC , ss PRINCIPESSA MAFALDA somehow has disappeared into the mists of time. Except for a small group of followers. This is mostly a reflection of the fact, that it was an Italian ship, carrying a complement that was almost exclusively Latino. The disaster of the MORRO CASTLE was a less significant event, and yet the amount of information and coverage, even today, is exponentially greater.

HISTORY - rms MAJESTIC - Hand in Hand with rms TITANIC

TITANIC and MAJESTIC (1890), both Royal Mail Ships, hand in hand? How so? The review of João Martins will show. by João Martins , editing by Earl of Cruise And WHITE STAR LINE was more than only a shipping line which employed rms TITANIC. WHITE STAR was company with a great heritage and introduced many innovations which became standards. Founded by Thomas Henry Ismay , originally from Maryport, and shareholders amoung whom had been HARLAND&WOLFF . Later the Irish shipbuilder, located in Belfast, built all ships for WHITE STAR. rms MAJESTIC as built by HARLAND&WOLFF - Sour ce: Wikipedia ( original seize ) T he rms MAJESTIC was a 9,965 GRT British ocean liner built by HARLAND & WOLFF for WHITE STAR LINE and completed in 1890.

At the time the prize belonged to CUNA RD

© coloured by Daryl LeBlanc Die NORMANDIE "flying the Blue Riband" Die Technick Die 812 Mio. Francs teure NORMANDIE stellte nicht nur mit ihrer Geschwindigkeit einen neuen Höhepunkt im Schiffbau dar. Die NORMANDIE war, mit ihrer einer Tonnage von 79.280 BRT (83.423 BRT nach dem Umbau Winter 1937/38) und einer Länge von 313,75m 1935 das größte und längste Schiff, das je gebaut worden war. Zugleich war die NORMANDIE auch das erste Schiff mit einer Länge über 300 Metern (1.000 Fuß). Der Bau des gigantischen Rumpfes hatte ganze 21 Monate in Anspruch genommen. Zuvor musste der vorherige Ausbau zur Vergrößerung der Helling erledigt werden. Mit einem Stapellaufgewicht von 27.650t war der Schiffsrumpf der NORMANDIE auch die bis dato größte, jemals auf dem Land bewegte Masse. Mitverantwortlich für den Entwurf der NORMANDIE zeichnete, der nach Frankreich emigrierte Russe, Wladimir Yourkevitch. Die Konstruktion war in mancher Hinsicht außergewöhnlich. Der Rumpfqu
