Fly-by in Southampton |
There was even a British Air Force jet fly-by in honor of the event. A spectacular send-off!
And, here are a few more photos of the ship's interior. She is a beauty!
It is interesting that the ship's refurbishment did not involve switching out the original plush Art Deco furnishings for more spartan, sturdy, "it-can-take-a-beating" stuff. I think this may be because the ship will revert back to the tourist trade in between the two annual SAS semester voyages (one in spring, one in fall), and so the ship owners decided to keep the original equipment.
Dining area |
It all looks so opulent and cushy... I liked the Explorer but this new ship definitely has style!
Some of the dining areas will serve double-duty as classrooms during the voyage. The last photo below shows a dining room / lounge laid out for a lecture.
