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\u2019s yachting life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2018godparents\u2019 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 \u2018godparents\u2019 will receive a commemorative certificate and their names will be affixed to a plaque displayed onboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Yachts of Seabourn has taken delivery of the cruise industry\u2019s first ultra-luxury vessel to launch in six years.
