October 9 marked one year since Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines? Braemar became the largest ship ever to traverse Greece?s historic Corinth Canal.
Last year, on the same day, under the command of Captain Jozo Glavic, 195.82-metre-long and 22.52-metre-wide Braemar broke a world record to become the largest ship ever to traverse this famous feat of engineering, with the canal only 24 metres at its narrowest point.
The sell-out sailing broke a second record when it became Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines? highest rated cruise for itinerary satisfaction from guests on board.
Clare Ward, Director for Product and Customer Service at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: ?While Braemar became the largest ship to ever travel through the Corinth Canal, ironically it was her smaller size in cruise ship terms that made this possible. It really was an incredible sailing, with the rock faces so close our guests could almost reach out and touch them. We can?t wait to replicate this experience for even more guests when Braemar returns to the Corinth Canal, with a number of future sailings already confirmed.?
