Four calls by Cunard & Seabourn in 2003-04 The call of the Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2), the Cunard and Seabourn Line's "city-at-sea," in Colombo on March 18 heralds a revival in cruise tourism and underlines Cunard's commitment to Sri Lanka, the line's agent Lewis Shipping (Private) Limited said. A member of the Delmege Forsyth Group, which has represented the Cunard and Seabourn Line for several decades, Lewis Shipping is responsible for the handling of the ship on its call in Colombo. The QE2 will be the first of four calls by Cunard and Seabourn Line ships over the following year, Lewis Shipping Director Captain L. N. Jayasooriya said. The 'Seabourn Spirit' one of the Line's elite 'Yachts of Seabourn' group of cruise vessels is due in Colombo twice this year on April 4 and December 16, while the QE 2 is expected to return to Colombo in March 2004 on her world cruise. "The return of these luxury passenger ships to Colombo after a notable drop in calls last year reflects the confidence of the world's most famous shipping line in Colombo," he said. Accommodating 1700 passengers representing the most affluent segment of leisure travellers, the QE2 has been adjudged best in her class for four successive years by the Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising and Cruise Ships, one of the industry's most authoritative publications. |
