Double Keels Laid for Seabourn's Newest Vessels

Pamela Conover, CEO and president of Seabourn, has got to have the coolest job in the business these days. With three luxury vessels on order—the first, the Odyssey, making its maiden voyage next June—Pamela is always jet-setting around the world to check on the progress of her team.

Here she is on July 1 in San Giorgio di Nogaro, Italy, with Marco Bisagno, president of T.Mariotti S.p.A. The duo are holding coins that were ceremoniously welded onto the keel blocks for two yet-to-be-named vessels that will be launched in 2010 and 2011, respectively.

T.Mariotti is also the shipbuilder responsible for the Seabourn Odyssey, which is currently at the company's facility in Genoa where finishing work is being done before the ship sets sail in June 2009.

This is all exciting news for Seabourn fans since capacity will increase 217% over the next three years! Hopefully this means it will be easier to snag your favorite suite category the next time you book a Seabourn voyage.
