(Alliance News) - Carnival PLC on Monday said Seabourn, a luxury cruise line, has revised the date for the first voyage of its new purpose-built luxury expedition ship, Seabourn Venture.

The ship will now depart on its maiden voyage from Greenwich, London, on April 10 next year.

Carnival noted that clients, currently booked on Seabourn Venture voyages scheduled to depart between December 11 and April 24, will receive more details by August 10 about cancellations specific to their booking.

The Florida, US-based cruise operator said the change comes after a group of company executives visited the T Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Italy, last month. During the visit, they received a detailed update on the ship's progress over the past 18 months, which has been affected by pandemic disruptions and related supply chain challenges.

The second yet-to-be-named sister expedition ship is also under construction at T Mariotti.

Carnival shares closed 1.4% lower in London on Monday at 1,482.80 pence each.
