The Yachts of Seabourn has taken delivery of the cruise industry's first ultra-luxury vessel to launch in six years. Seabourn Odyssey will be launched and named in Venice on June 24 before embarking on her maiden voyage. 

"This is certainly a very historic day for our company, as today we took delivery of our beautiful new yacht, Seabourn Odyssey," said Pamela Conover, president and CEO of Seabourn. "This moment marks a milestone occasion in Seabourn's history; Seabourn Odyssey is the first of three new sisters to be introduced over the next two years and sets a new standard for the ultra-luxury cruise industry. We hope our guests will be as delighted as we are and we look forward to welcoming them aboard to enjoy a new era in Seabourn’s yachting life."

The $250 million Seabourn Odyssey will be launched in an intimate ceremony with the unmistakable skyline of Venice as the backdrop. In a twist from traditional naming ceremonies, all guests sailing on the Maiden Voyage will be named 'godparents' with the breaking of a bottle of Italian Prosecco to mark the occasion. An ingenious bottle breaking mechanism has been designed especially for the event. Following the on-deck event, all 'godparents' will receive a commemorative certificate and their names will be affixed to a plaque displayed onboard.
