Or "a quick lesson in how to build a ship".
Ever wondered how 32,000 tonnes of sheet metal, girders and fittings becomes a luxurious cruise ship? Then check out this video released by Yachts of Seabourn showing how its new big ship (450 passengers!) Seabourn Odyssey was put together.
It's come out just in time to promote a new offer for the 14-night maiden voyage of Seabourn's next new ship, Seabourn Sojourn.
The cruise departs Greenwich, London, on June 6 2010, visits Scotland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway and the Netherlands and ends in Dover on June 20. Prices start at £5,599 per person cruise-only including all drinks and gratuities but if you want a balcony, it'll cost from £6,199.
For details call Seabourn at 0845 070 0500 or visit www.seabourn.com.
Still wondering about the hero bit in the headline? The Odyssey was all about the wanderings of Odysseus, the hero of the Trojan war. Tenuous or what?
