Pullmantur’s Zenith, Seabourn’s soon-to-launch Seabourn Ovation and Marella Cruises’ Marella Discovery will all make maiden calls at Felison Cruise Terminal (FCT) in IJmuiden in Velsen, the Netherlands in 2018.
All three ships, their crew and their guests will be welcomed to IJmuiden by representatives from the cruise terminal, the Port of IJmuiden and Velsen’s mayor. Locals can watch the ships’ arrivals from the first-floor viewing terrace in the cruise terminal.
Other cruise visitors in 2018 will include Phoenix Reisen’s Albatros, which will open the season on 5 April, as well as Phoenix Reisen’s Amadea, Saga Cruises’ Saga Sapphire and Saga Pearl II, and Cruise & Maritime Voyages’ Astoria. AIDA Cruises will also make nine calls to the port, bringing AIDAmar, AIDAluna and AIDAsol, which will close the season in autumn with four calls.
