She will certainly be called in Dover on July 5, 2019 while her sis ship, Spirit of Adventure, is intended to go into solution in 2020.
Both ships will certainly lug 999 visitors as well as 523 team participants. Each will certainly be a 58,250 gross loads vessel gauging 774.3 feet in size as well as with an optimum light beam of 102.4 ft.
The Spirit of Discovery will certainly currently undergo numerous days of technological as well as maritime sea tests on the North Sea.
A group of river pilots from Emden was in charge of steering the ship to Emden, training for the transportation on the electronic simulator in Wageningen, Netherlands, to be much better planned for the job.
Vessels are pulled from Papenburg to the North Sea backwards, as this makes them less complicated to navigate, with 2 yanks giving aid.
