Seabourn and T. Marrioti held a double ceremony today commencing the laying of the keels for the two sister ships (still unnamed) to the Seabourn Odyssey.

By laying the keels for ships to be delivered in 2010 and 2011 Seabourn is making a strong statement that its 32,000 Gross Registered Ton ships that are 650 feet long, with a beam of 84 feet and draft of 21 feet, will be a major force in the luxury and ultra-luxury markets for years to come.

Seabourn’s two deck high/inside and outside spa, multiple fine dining venues and a design philosophy of making a larger ship as intimate and personal as its present triplets assures it will be providing an enhanced luxury cruising experience.
