Technically and aesthetically, ORION is
arguably the most sophisticated vessel
in its class. The Berlitz Guide to
Cruising and Cruise Ships describes her
as “the latest in the quest to build the
ideal expedition cruise ship.”
Constructed by the world-leading Cassens
Shipyard in Emden, Germany, and launched
in November 2003, she boasts a host of
advanced design features, including
technology that sets new standards in
sustainable marine environmental
practices.
Although custom-made for expedition cruising, ORION is the
epitome of elegance. No expense has been
spared when it comes to the quality of
fittings and furnishings, and the range
and caliber of onboard recreational
facilities are nothing short of
five-star. ORION’s luxurious
appointments means she is more
mega-yacht than cruise ship, and her
guests are few; around just 50 couples,
all cared for in 5-star comfort by a
crew of 75. |
