The former ice-class cruiseship Hanseatic has left the Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg prior to joining Canadian charterer One Ocean Expeditions.

The 8,400-gt vessel (built 1991), which has been renamed RCGS Resolute, spent nearly a week completing upgrades at the yard.

“We successfully handed the vessel over to the new charterers on Sunday [7 October],” a spokesman for the shipyard told TradeWinds.
