Gerry Herrod is back in the game with the debut of his new Discovery World Cruises. They've set up camp in Fort Lauderdale and the new website is up;

www.discoveryworldcruises.com

Very interesting and diverse itineraries; albeit many of them are 3 weeks or longer in duration.

Here's a bit of trivia: What other cruise line's logo does Discovery's resemble?

Tim,
It looks a lot like your very own Oceania Cruises! What's the matter, Discovery can't afford a logo of their own?

Ernie - off to Vancouver and the MAASDAM later today.

First the phony Delphin Renaissance picture, now Discovery World "borrows" your logo? Looks like Oceania is the one to imitate. They do say imitation is the highest form of flattery, but when big money is concerned... It doesn't look as if Herrod trademarked the logo- or maybe the copyright notice at the bottom of the page applies to everything on it?

Too bad her summer itineraries aren't going to be marketed here (I guess because of the Voyages of Discovery charter)

Yes... She is the former ISLAND VENTURE, ISLAND PRINCESS, HYUNDAI PUNGAK, and PLATINUM (never in service as PLATINUM).

Wow.

Although not advertised in this link I am due to sail on the Discovery on 27th July for a 14 day cruise to Greenland, Iceland and the Faroes.

If anyone has any feedback on the ship I would be grateful.

Nigel.

I've only read one report of her, on another group, but the writer was certainly impressed.

I look forward to hearing what you think of Herrod's new operation! With his track record, it should be excellent.

Gerry Herrod and company should do very well with the Discovery in South America/Brazil as this is an area They know well through Ocean Cruise Lines and Orient Lines!! Also a market with alot of Future potential!! And Discovery knows it too!

I wouldn't be surprised if The ship is a sell out on every cruise. I can see Gerry looking at adding a second ship in the future if he does well in South America and with Discovery World Cruises!
