| Dual American christening

INNERSEA Discoveries has welcomed the 76-

Cruises has welcomed the 86-guest Safari
Endeavour at a dual christening ceremony at
Seattle’s Fisherman’s Wharf last week.
Prior to her christening Safari Endeavour
underwent a mammoth 11-month renovation
which saw her capacity reduced from 102 guests
to 86, and also included the addition of four
Commodore Suites, flatscreen TVs/DVDs and
iPod docks in all rooms, and updates to public
areas including new furnishings and fixtures,
and the creation of a new wine bar and library.
Two new massage rooms were also installed
onboard, as were two new hot tubs, a sauna,
fitness equipment, and a high-tech kayak
launching platform to quickly launch four
kayaks at a time.
Meanwile Wilderness Explorer’s seven-month
renovation saw her hull painted forest green,
and an overall refreshment of her interior
spaces, as well as new décor, linens, flatscreen
TVs/DVDs and iPod docks in her staterooms.
