τη διώρυγα της Κορίνθου...μέσα βρίσκονταν περίπου 1.200 επιβάτες!
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ guests experienced a breath-taking transit
of the 6.4-kilometre-long Corinth Canal in Greece this morning
[Wednesday 9th October 2019], as 24,344-gross-tonnes,
195.82-metre-long, 22.52-metre-wide Braemar broke the existing record
to become the largest ship ever to traverse this famous feat of engineering.
The Canal is only 24 metres at its narrowest point.
929-guest Braemar is currently sailing on a sold-out 25-night M1925
‘Corinth Canal & Greek Islands’ cruise, which set sail from Southampton,
UK on 27th September 2019.
- The Corinth Canal is a waterway that separates the Greek mainland from the Peloponnese, turning it into an island. It is an important navigational route, which once allowed ships to enter the Aegean Sea. Whilst the Canal is steeped in over two millennia of history, the structure that we now know was completed and used for the first time on 28th October 1893.
- Clare Ward, Director of Product and Customer Service for Fred.
Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“This is such an exciting sailing and tremendous milestone in Fred.
Olsen’s 171-year history, and we are thrilled to have been able to share
it with our guests. At Fred. Olsen, we strive to create memories that last a lifetime,
and with guests on board Braemar able to get so close to the edges of the
Corinth Canal that they could almost touch the sides, we know that this will
be a holiday that they will never forget.
