South Sea Cruises will acquire a new 78 foot sailing catamaran from Sri Lanka later this year.
The information is contained in a Fijian Holdings Limited newsletter released to the South Pacific Stock Exchange.
South Sea Cruises is a subsidiary of FHL and reports that name of the new vessel will be SABRE.
“This boat commissioned in early 2019 has been built by a French company, based in Sri Lanka and will be the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere and only the seventh in the world.”
The sailing catamaran will have a capacity of approximately 80 passengers once commissioned and will sail daily from Port Denarau to the Mamanuca’s under a new brand; South Sea Sailing, states the newsletter.
South Sea Cruises was unable to take post-session and commence her delivery voyage to Fiji prior to the Covid-19 pandemic closing borders.
“So for now she is safely berthed in Sri Lanka and will arrive into Fiji later this year.”
