An official handover event for Venture, the first of two new-build expedition vessels for the ultra-luxury brand, was held at the T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa.
Built to Polar Class 6 standards, Venture will feature 132 oceanfront veranda suites, as well as two submarines and equipment such as sea kayaks, Zodiac boats and e-bikes.
A 26-person team of scientists, scholars, naturalists will help offer the line’s “widest range of expedition activities”.
The ship’s maiden voyage will depart from Tromso in Norway on 27 July.
