New Innovative Ship to Launch with Cruises from Haifa, Israel

MIAMI, March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Israeli holidaymakers will set a new course for adventure this summer when Royal Caribbean International begins sailing from Israel for the first time in May. The global cruise line will offer Israelis a combination of 3- to 7-night escapes visiting the Greek Isles and Cyprus on board its highly anticipated, brand-new ship, Odyssey of the Seas. The new sailings will go on sale on Tuesday, March 9.

The itineraries, roundtrip from Haifa, Israel, will include visits to idyllic isles and destinations in the Mediterranean, including Rhodes, Santorini, Mykonos and Athens, Greece and Limassol, Cyprus.  

“We are thrilled to debut Royal Caribbean cruises from Israel with our newest and most innovative ship, Odyssey of the Seas. Israeli travelers will be looking to get away, relax with total peace of mind, and enjoy the travel experiences they are missing dearly; and that is what we do best,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “Sailing from Israel is an opportunity we have had our sights on for quite some time. We greatly appreciate the government of Israel for their collaboration and confidence in us to deliver memorable cruise experiences to their residents, and look forward to delivering on that promise aboard our newest ship – the first ‘Green Island’ at sea.” 

Residents of Israel will be the first guests to cruise on Odyssey during its inaugural season. The innovative ship is designed to make for a memorable holiday for every kind of traveler, with a variety of new and signature experiences from bow to stern. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea, highlights on board include a two-level pool deck designed for downtime under the sun and stars, SeaPlex – the two-level indoor and outdoor activity complex that is a high-adrenaline playground for all ages, and a lineup of complimentary and specialty restaurants primed to please every palate with cuisine from around the world. And entertainment throughout the ship will be punctuated by high-tech signature productions in the Royal Theater and Two70, where art and multimedia merge for jaw-dropping performances found only on Odyssey.

“Thanks to the millions of vaccines we have brought, I am proud that Israel will be the first country in the world to launch Royal Caribbean’s new flagship. Royal Caribbean’s decision to come to Israel is a significant expression of confidence in our policy. This is an important economic, touristic moment for the State of Israel,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Israel is a global model of success. We will continue our program – the ‘green passport’ – so that we can get out of the COVID-19 virus in peace. Just as we made Israel the world champion in vaccines, we will make it the world champion in economics and tourism in the post-Corona era.”

In conjunction with Israel’s health and tourism authorities, Royal Caribbean will be the first to offer fully vaccinated sailings, where both crew and guests above the age of 16 will be vaccinated against COVID-19. Details on the additional health and safety measures to be implemented by Israel and Royal Caribbean will be announced at a later date.

The Greek Minister of Tourism, Mr. Haris Theoharis, supports all the efforts for the resumption of cruising in Greece and the surrounding area. He said, “We are very happy with today’s announcement as our recent travel agreement with Israel is already bringing results, and more people will have the opportunity to have unique experiences in our beautiful destinations and islands.”

Savvas Perdios, the Deputy Minister of Tourism for Cyprus commented, “It is an honor to be featured in Royal Caribbean’s itinerary this summer, and we are delighted to welcome their newest ship to our island. Cyprus supports the cruise industry and is pleased to help the industry on its road to recovery. We are certain that guests will have a great time, both on board the ship and when visiting Cyprus, one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean.”

GAME-CHANGING SHIP
Odyssey will be the first Quantum Ultra Class ship to homeport in the region, touting a distinctive new look, an action-packed top deck and a mix of record-holding hits and groundbreaking firsts. 

The state-of-the-art ship will come to life with game-changing, technological innovations like the next-generation SeaPlex, which will see the addition of this venue’s first Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade with club-level views of the competition below; a reimagined Adventure Ocean kids program, and the maxed-out Social180 teen lounge with gaming consoles, music, movies and an outdoor wraparound deck with ocean views. Guests will also enjoy a variety of dining venues, including Teppanyaki, serving East Asian flavors in a traditional Japanese style; and the cruise line’s first Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar, which offers rustic Italian dishes with a contemporary flair. Up top, Odyssey’s vibrant next-level pool deck will feature two open-air, resort-style pools and four whirlpools with shady casitas and hammocks.

MOSCOW, March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Sheremetyevo International Airport was recognized as the best airport for service quality in 2020 among airports with 2019 passenger traffic of more than 40 million by the Airports Council International’s (ACI) global program for researching the level of service at airports Airport Service Quality (ASQ). 

Sheremetyevo Airport has been recognized consistently since 2012 as one of the best airports in Europe in terms of service quality. At the end of 2020, Sheremetyevo topped the rating in the category of the largest airports in Europe for the third time. At the same time, this year Sheremetyevo was included in the list of the Voice of the Customer of the Airports Council International – the 140 most active airports in the implementation of the ASQ ACI program during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“ACI Awards are the highest recognition for airport operators around the world,” said ACI World CEO Luis Felipe de Oliveira. “This year, the award recognizes those airports that have listened to their customers and adapted their services and experiences to meet changing needs and expectations in very difficult circumstances. I am proud of the accomplishments of all ASQ award winners, who demonstrate their commitment to delivering excellence in customer service and set a great example for their colleagues. Today, aviation industry representatives around the world are joining together to address the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is this focus on customer needs that will help us find the fastest way to overcome these challenges.”

“An airport is very much a service business, and we take the idea of service very seriously,” said Sheremetyevo’s Chairman Alexander Ponomarenko. “Airlines and passengers have a choice, and we want to make it easy for them to choose Sheremetyevo. We do that by paying close attention to the traveler’s needs so that the time they spend with us is pleasant, convenient, stress-free and safe. That is our mission.”

Last year, Sheremetyevo Airport, in the face of global anti-epidemic restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, implemented major infrastructure projects and introduced new services in order to improve the airport experience of passengers and customers. In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sheremetyevo fully implemented a set of preventive measures in cooperation with the responsible government agencies and services to ensure a safe stay at the airport for passengers, guests and staff.

Sheremetyevo introduced a number of new services in 2020 in anticipation of the lifting of restrictions on international traffic and restoration of the intensity of flights in the country and abroad. These services include a rapid testing service for COVID-19 (first among the world’s airports) and the opening of a publicly available coronavirus vaccination station. To date, the implementation of anti-epidemic measures at Sheremetyevo continues on a full scale.

The systematic development of infrastructure, an effective management system and the introduction of innovative technologies and services are the priorities for Sheremetyevo’s management and allow the airport to provide high quality services for passengers and customers. Sheremetyevo Airport was awarded a number of international and Russian industry awards based on its performance in 2020.

Sheremetyevo Airport is among the TOP-5 airport hubs in Europe, the largest Russian airport in terms of passenger and cargo traffic. In 2020, the airport served 19 million 784 thousand passengers.

Sheremetyevo is the best airport in terms of quality of services in Europe, the absolute world leader in punctuality of flights, the recipient of the highest 5-star Skytrax rating.

You can find additional information at http://www.svo.aero.

According to the results of the ASQ ACI program, Sheremetyevo International Airport was recognized as the best airport in Europe in terms of the quality of passenger service in 2012 and 2013. In 2014, Sheremetyevo confirmed its leadership in the ranking of the best airports in Europe, taking second place, in 2015 – first place. At the end of 2016 and 2017, Sheremetyevo was recognized as the best in Europe in the category of airports with passenger traffic of 25-40 million per year. In 2018, Sheremetyevo joined the list of the best airports in the world according to the Airports Council International – ACI Director General’s Roll of Excellence. At the end of 2018 and 2019, Sheremetyevo topped the rating of the best in terms of service quality among the largest airports in Europe with passenger traffic of more than 40 million per year.

ASQ ACI program is the only program that surveys international airport passengers on the day of their flight. The program conducts approximately 640,000 face-to-face surveys annually in 47 languages in 91 countries. The survey is conducted on 34 main indicators of the quality of services, including access to the airport, check-in and screening, cleanliness of restrooms, left-luggage rooms and restaurant services. The survey at each airport is conducted using a centralized program that creates an industry database and allows airport comparisons to be made. Airports are evaluated according to several categories depending on their size and location.

ACI has adopted a rigorous quality control process for the ASQ Awards program to ensure the highest quality benchmarking analysis and ASQ survey results during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, due to the need to highlight pressing issues related to the implementation of preventive measures, ACI introduced a new nomination category – “Best Hygiene Measures by Region,” and 33 airports became winners in this category.

  • Debug Through Sleep – By leveraging special power modes on the TRAVEO II processor, MULTI and the Green Hills Probe enable developers to debug and test code through the processor’s hibernate mode cycle, instead of requiring them to disconnect the debugging session. This feature greatly reduces the time and effort to debug and test critical code. As a result, developers can confidently allow the processor to run with hibernate mode enabled, substantially reducing the amount of power a processor will need to consume in a deployed vehicle.
  • Breakpoints in Flash – This feature allows developers to set an unlimited number of breakpoints when debugging code running in flash memory. Removing breakpoint limits greatly increases software developers’ productivity.

Romain Libaud, Business Owner of Classic AUTOSAR / TRAVEO II for HMI Solutions at Automotive Supplier and Technology Company Continental, said: “Global vehicle manufacturers rely on Continental for automotive systems that enable advanced features to address the emerging trends such as firmware over-the-air updates and higher standards for reliable performance. Infineon and Green Hills have established a strong track record of providing responsive support to Continental with solutions strong in safety, security and performance.”

“We have had a strong collaboration for over a decade,” said Sven Natus, Vice President Marketing at Infineon Technologies. “Green Hills has been the first choice of our customers on our Arm-based MCU TRAVEO products for the automotive market. Our efficient and close collaboration model with Green Hills allowed us to enable important lead TRAVEO II customers even before first silicon availability.”

The TRAVEO II family is designed for emerging body electronics platforms requiring performance, safety, and security. It combines a single Arm Cortex®-M4F and two Cortex-M7F for increased performance. The TRAVEO II family has state-of-the-art safety features, including ECC for memory, power supply voltage and clock monitors, watchdogs, and self-test libraries. TRAVEO II devices also include advanced security features, including the introduction of an HSM (hardware security module), dedicated Cortex-M0+ for secure processing, and embedded flash in dual bank mode for FOTA requirements. Traveo II features six power modes that enable ECUs to minimize overall power consumption.

Availability
The Green Hills MULTI development tools and the Green Hills Probe are available now for early customers to take advantage of the new features of TRAVEO II.
