Also in the fleet is the 22,496-gt, 709-passenger World Odyssey (built 1998), which operates eight months of the year for Semester at Sea and four months for Germany’s Phoenix Reisen, when it changes its name to Deutschland.
The 9,780-gt, 392-passenger Freewinds (built 1968) is pure compliance management, whereas all other ships in the fleet involve technical management and for seven or eight vessels also hotel management.
