Mystic Cruises to pursue US guests

Portugal-based Mystic Cruises plans to market some of its
expedition ships to North American passengers.

The company’s parent, Mystic Invest, plans five more
versions of the 200-passenger World Explorer inaugurated recently in Viana do
Castelo, Portugal.

Four of the five would sail for a new brand, Mystic Cruises
USA, with the first to be called World Navigator, planned for delivery in 2021.

Destinations may include Antarctica, Europe, Iceland and
Greenland, Mystic said.
