In a special ceremony at Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in St. Nazaire, France,

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines' Chairman and

CEO Richard Fain accepted delivery of the com- pany's newest cruise ship — the 1,800-passenger, 69,130-ton Splendour of the Seas. The ship began its inaugural summer season of 12-night cruises to the British Isles, Mediterranean, Scandinavia and Russia on March 31. On November 1, she will cross the Atlantic for a winter season of seven-night cruises to the southern Caribbean from San Juan.

Royal Caribbean is one of the world's largest cruise lines and operates 10 modern ships with a total capacity of 16,800 passengers. Splendour of the Seas is the first of five ships to be introduced by Royal Caribbean over the next two years.

These ships will offer a combined total capacity of 7,900 passengers. The vessels of the fleet offer passengers 54 itineraries and 134 destinations in the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Mexico,

Alaska, Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, Hawaii and the Far East. less than two years after Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, The Dudos Corp., deliv- ered its first high-speed, whalewatching vessel to Bar Harbor Whale Watch Co. for service in the Gulf of Maine, the vessel's owner has ordered another vessel from the

Somerset, Mass., shipyard. The 112-ft. (34.1 -m) aluminum catamaran, designed by

Incat Designs of Sydney, Australia, is scheduled for delivery in May.

According to shipyard President George Dudos, the new 350-passenger cata- maran, Friendship has more than twice the passenger capacity of Friendship IV, which has been sold to Florida Cruise & Ferry Service, Naples, Fla., for year-round excursion service to Key West. The flybridge deck has open seating for an addition- al 123 passengers, and a dedicated naturalist viewing station, enclosed in glass and equipped with telephone service to the wheelhouse and a wireless microphone to the public address system. Passengers can reportedly view whales from the vessel's three decks, bow pulpits, wide walkaround sidedecks and three-tiered grandstand located in the front of the main cabin.

The boat is powered by four 12V-92TA ODEC Detroit Diesel engines, turning

Hamilton HM461 waterjets through Reintjes gears. Each engine produces 815 bhp at 2,100 rpm. The vessel is designed for 28 to 35-knot speeds.
