"Seabourn's Odyssey Class vessels are being born of a time-honored Italian legacy,
whereby innovative designers and skilled craftsmen team to create objects of beauty
that inspire and bring delight to people over many years."
Pamela C. Conover, president & CEO of Seabourn Cruise Line
Thanks to its experience in the Ultra Luxury segment of the Industry - that is in fact T. Mariotti's core business -
the company is able to evaluate and refine enquiries from customers desiring to build cruise ships of that class,
focusing all the elements of construction to achieve an overall allure.
"Quality is our prime concern," says Paolo Zanetti, CEO of T. Mariotti "Our subcontractors have to be very
skilled to offer a 'non plus ultra' product. We work with the best teams to achieve excellence."
T. Mariotti is constantly investing in research into new materials, technology and building techniques, and is
continually updated on regulations affecting their projects.
Seabourn Cruise Line, the Ultra Luxury Brand of Miami-based Carnival Corporation & plc, has chosen T. Mariotti
to build three new, Ultra Luxury Vessels, for delivery in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Each of the hulls will be 650 feet
long, with a beam of 84 feet and a draft of 21 feet, to operate at a service speed of 19 knots
