With a goal of marrying European design and quality with Chinese ship-building efficiency, the INFINITY Class delivers cutting-edge design, and significant operating efficiencies.
On October 17, 2021, Sea Trials began on Sylvia Earle. Sea Trials consisted of five days of intense testing of the vessel’s systems while underway in the south China Sea. Over 150 people were onboard during the Trials from the Shipyard, Bureau Veritas (Class society), Managers Crew (CMI), and SunStone Marine Advisors (Owners Site Team). The vessel completed successful Sea Trials to high satisfaction.
INFINITY Class Vessels are 104 meters long, and 18 meters wide, with a draft of 5.1 meters. They feature a passenger capacity between 130-200 and a crew capacity between 85 and 115. The Vessels are Ice Class 1A, Polar Code 6 and are being built with Safe Return to Port, Dynamic Positioning and zero speed stabilizing. They are small enough to give an exclusive atmosphere and yet large enough to yield all expected services and facilities such as a swimming pool, bar and restaurants, lounges, boutique, gym and spa.
Current INFINITY Class new-builds underway after the delivery of the GREG MORTIMER, the OCEANEXPLORER and the OCEAN VICTORY are; the SYLVIA EARLE, the OCEAN ODYSSEY, the OCEAN ALBATROSand the OCEAN DISCOVERER. All vessels ordered have long-term charter agreements in place.
