The premiere of a new safety video, a collaboration between the U.S Coast Guard, the Norwegian JRCC, and AECO, was also a highlight of the event.
In recognition of their efforts to enhance safety at sea, the U.S. Coast Guard presented AMVER awards to AECO members Lindblad Expeditions, Silversea Cruises, Hurtigruten Expeditions, Ponant, and Oceanwide Expeditions.
One of the highlights was the presentation of the Icelandic Coastguard on monitoring and reacting to volcanic activities on Iceland.
Bookings for the world cruise will open on April 10, with rates ranging from $91,499 to $839,999 per person. Register your interest now at rssc.com.
Hopefully not another Ponzi scheme like the recently failed “Life at Sea”…

2025’s American Patriot and American Pioneer will have a more traditional bow construction and slightly deeper draft than the earlier Project Blue ships
PS> No it dose NOT include the Captains!!!
…and what is with the captains’ parrots?
The parrot loyally follow the Captain; if he/she move to work from home, so does the parrot.
