ORIENT LINES RE-BORN; MARCO POLO II

The new owners of Orient Lines have acquired Maxim Gorkiy, which will be renamed Marco Polo II and embark on its maiden voyage from Barcelona April 15.

Wayne Heller, who bought the rights to Orient Lines earlier this year, said his company will do everything to recreate the original concept, including longer, destination-intensive itineraries, a comprehensive enrichment program and value for money.

The tradition continues with the hiring of a Filipino crew and reinstating the crew show that always ranked as ships top-rated entertainment.

Marco Polo II will carry 650 passengers and offer multiple, open-seating dining venues. The ship is ice-classed and able to operate in polar waters.

Polo Club members will keep their standing with the new Orient Lines.
