[villa deauville]

Received information from Olympic Voygager re a trip starting in
Ft.Lauderdale and returning there. Itinerary states Ft.Lauderdale. San
Juan, Tortola, Barbados, Orinoco River Entrance etc. Where is this River
and has anyone ever cruised Royal Olympic?

Hi Sunny, the Orinoco river is in the north east corner of South
America, its delta is directly south of Trinidad.

Sunny,

It's in Venezuela. Here's an brief description from a cruise review from
one of my friends:

"Thursday was technically a day at sea as we sailed to Puerto Ordaz,
Venezuela. By the time we awoke on Thursday morning, we were already in
the muddy delta leading up to the Orinoco River and approaching the marked
channel. Jerry and I were on deck, with our binoculars, all day as we,
slowly, sailed up the river. The morning was sunny and VERY hot, but THIS
IS WHY WE CAME so we camped at our rail position, watching the scenery
change. We passed rain forests and pampas and many Indian villages from
which people came out in their dugout canoes to wave to the ship. (We
later found out that the Zenith was the largest passenger ship to go up the
Orinoco.) We watched for wildlife, saw plenty of egrets and were fortunate
enough to catch green parrots and blue and gold macaws in flight."

Orinoco is near Venezuela. We cruised with Royal Olympic in Greece.
Older ship; very good experience.

Isn't the Olympic Voyager the new ship that enters service this year
for Royal Olympic?

This is going to be a great Cruise. Twelve days round trip from Ft.
Lauderdale. You will spend a day cruising up the Orinco River in
Venezuela, spend a port day in Pueto Ordaz, and then a day getting back
out to Sea. Lots of good Caribbean ports also. This is their new ship
and looks very nice indeed. They are a Greek Line and you should expect
quite a few Europeans to be aboard. Also, since you live in Florida you
may be able to swing a good deal locally.

Hi Sunny,

The Orinoco River is located in Venezuela and, yes, I have traveled
Royal Olympic on a few of their ships. They provide a good service with
Greek staff and crew.
