Orion II
All-suite vessel will offer fine small-ship cruise travel
Originally launched in late 1990 as Renaissance IV and re-launched in 2009 as Clelia II after extensive technical refurbishment, redecoration and other improvements, the all-suite Orion II will offer fine small-ship cruise travel.
Little expense was spared with this stylish, Italian built, all-suite mega yacht.
This private yacht-like cruise ship accommodates only 100 guests in 50 suites, each of which affords ocean views, measuring 215 to 285 square feet, and appointed with a sitting area or separate living room, twin or queen-size beds, spacious closets, and air conditioning.
She also has an ice-strengthened hull for voyages in the Arctic and Antarctic and is fitted with stabilisers.
