Orient Lines Doubles Capacity

With Crown Odyssey

Specializing in destination cruises,

Orient Lines will increase its passenger capacity by 131 percent, when the 1,050-passenger Crown Odyssey, (for- merly Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwe- gian Crown) enters Orient's fleet in the

Spring of 2000.

Plans call for the new vessel to be deployed on the line's popular Greek

Isles and Mediterranean itineraries from

May through October, and will feature new destinations — such as Tahiti and

Hawaii, during the winter months. The addition of the Crown Odyssey will also expand Orient's presence in the Indian

Ocean, Southeast Asia and the South

Pacific.

The stately Crown Odyssey, which sailed for three years as Norwegian

Cruise Line's Norwegian Crown, was christened Crown Odyssey in 1988 by its original owners, the former Royal

Cruise Line.

Boasting 527 staterooms, the 34,250- ton vessel will receive a multitude of onboard enhancements prior to sailing as part of the Orient Lines fleet.
