Cruise ship docks with rescued French yachtsman

Thursday, 22 Jan, 2013 0

The five-star Antarctic expedition ship Orion has arrived in Hobart with a rescued French yachtsman on board.

Alain Delord, 63, was rescued on Sunday night about 500 nautical miles southeast of Tasmania after his yacht was dismasted on a round-the-world voyage.

The Orion’s 100 passengers will resume their cruise off Tasmania after a planned stop at Macquarie Island was cancelled.

The company will discuss the itinerary change and possible compensation with passengers, who paid around AUD1000 a night for the Orion’s three-week Antarctic experience.
