She is probably still in Valetta collecting staff. One of the expedition team was on our SS Cloud trip in June and he was scheduled to meet Venture in Valetta. I thought the date was July 23, but that sounds a bit late. And as others have mentioned more last minute details.
We too are excited for the trip having had 2 years of delays. I fully expect that there will be issues that are associated with a new ship. Combined with Covid supply chain and staffing problems could make for some interesting problems. That being said it appears that Seabourn are pulling out all the stops to make a positive first impression.
I'm more concerned about actually getting there, with my luggage, than any shipboard problems. 😁
It's going to be fun, interesting and truly spectacular. I don't care if I see a polar bear, but a Narwhal that would be a real bonus.
I'm sure you'll enjoy.
