After a series of 12-day Mediterranean sailings, the ship embarks on a fall trans-Atlantic crossing to the Caribbean to sail seven-day eastern and western itineraries from November 2010 through March 2011.
The vessel stayed in the area until in the morning of November 4 to continue the search for missing persons, then brought all 27 rescued persons at Australia's Christmas Islands on the 6th.
The ship was damaged a day after it set sail on Feb. 6 when it encountered 30-foot waves and hurricane force winds, and its 4,500 passengers hunkered down for hours.
In Agile Holdings v Essar Shipping the vessel was on a trip time charter voyage from Tunisia to the West Coast of India, carrying a cargo of direct reduced iron DRI.
The ship was berthed in Ushuaia, Argentina, when its portside engine failed unexpectedly on November 18, and G Adventures' engineers and the engine's manufacturers have been unable to fix the problem.
The ship will be inaugurated on 20 April, when travel agent Godmother Emma Wilby will name the ship before performing a song for more than 1,300 invited guests and dignitaries.
The ship will be delivered in June 2013 and will be essentially more like a mega yacht in size and fitting out with a paramount attention to interior detail.
After delivery from the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard(Korea) in 2019, the vessel will be delivered to WFS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Methanex Corporation, the world's largest producer and supplier of methanol.
In World War II, the ship served as a hospital ship, and after the war concluded Hikawa Maru was used to transport demobilized soldiers and repatriated citizens.
However, the vessel was abandoned by the owners in Oman, meaning that the performance of the bill of lading and the delivery of the cargo did not take place.
Stena Line has operated the HSS Stena Explorer into Dun Laoghaire since 1995 during which time the vessel has carried a mix of passengers, car and coach traffic.
The ship operated as a regular flight across the North Atlantic from 1936 to 1967, and it seems that Audrey Hepburn and other famous passenger were on board in the past.
The island did not provide docking facilities so the ship anchored off the island and passengers were disembarked and re-embarked by tender boats operated by a local company.
