The ship
Bellamy Leisure Group bought a tired hull at auction, painted over thirty years of history, and announced a boutique luxury line. Somebody has to stand at the top of the gangway and say it is lovely. Every book re-introduces the ship from scratch, so you can start anywhere — but the ship gets smaller each time, and that is not an accident.
Ready to board?
The maiden voyage, a spa that is a room with a sign on the door, and a clerical error that leaves the Director of Guest Delight the only legal authority aboard. Four days, no forensics, and a door log that says she did it.
