Chinese start-up 66 Degrees Expeditions has emerged as the buyer of the only oceangoing ship owned by Swiss river cruise specialist Scylla.
European cruise sources told TradeWinds that Scylla’s 6,750-gt, 150-passenger polar-class Seaventure (built 1990) will join expedition cruise company 66 Degrees in May under the name Poseidon.
Scylla chief executive Arno Reitsma told German travel media in June that the Seaventure had been sold to an international buyer as the company wanted to focus on its core river cruise business.
