Liquidity, Christensen’s hull # 027, the second hull of this new series that was conceived essentially as a revised 155, and launched in early January 2005 -- becomes another of Christensen’s soon-to-be-famous models. It is destined to be a sought-after emblem by celebrities and cruise-lovers; AND... those who expect only the finest in ship-building technology and meticulous attention to detail.

Our thanks to Christensen's marketing director, John Lance, for his cooperation in supplying images and specs for this feature.
