medroots Posted October 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) We joined the Quest yesterday in Montreal for a 2 wk cruise to Ft Lauderdale. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our captain is Captain Dag! Looking forwarding to sailing with him again!

ajpeter Posted October 22, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2016 We have had at least four cruises with Captain Dag at the wheel. He is one of the nicest guys around. Happy to see him back at seabourn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornet Posted October 22, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2016 We sailed with Captain Dag on the Legend to The North Cape in 2014. Very pleased that he is back with Seabourn and on the Quest..here's hoping that he stays on for our Antartica trip on 28th November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairsin Posted October 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Medroots, Thanks for posting this update. Some time ago on our Holiday Quest Roll a poster noted they ran into Dag and he told them he was coming back to Seabourn and specifically the Quest. Glad to have this confirmed. Can you find out how long he is on for? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crew member said GA took an early holiday since he is taking over Encore in February. I will confirm when I see Dag, but it makes sense to me given his experience.

Chairsin Posted October 22, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Thank you. I hope you enjoy your cruise -- it is one of the ones on our "list." As to Dag regarding Antarctica I understand his grandfather was one of the founders of the whaling station on South Georgia Island. And a question for those of you that have done the SB Antarctica cruises am I correct that there are usually two Captains on board for theses cruises as Captain Larsen is always on board to handle navigation issues?

edwardw Posted October 22, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I had heard that MARK DEXTER was to be the captain on the ENCORE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCKelly Posted October 22, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 22, 2016 How nice that Captain Dag is back with Seabourn. We had three sailings years ago with Captain Dag on the little Song of Flower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koalapanda Posted October 23, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Great to hear Captain Dagg is back. We sailed with him on the Legend a few years ago. He is a very special gent with much character and a sincere kind heart. Welcome back Captain Dagg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelHop Posted October 24, 2016 #15 Share Posted October 24, 2016 We sailed with Captain Dag on the last "little sister" cruise to the North Cape and Polar Ice Cap in June 2014. I think it was one of Dag's last Seabourn cruises. We just absolutely LOVED him!! Now we are really hoping he will stay for all the Antarctica cruises as we are on the last one in February 2017!

TravelHop Posted October 24, 2016 #18 Share Posted October 24, 2016 We were so blessed to have Speedy and Christina on ALL of our little sister cruises from 2009-2015 and will really miss them on the "new" Seabourn!! We were with Jan on the Quest earlier this year and she said she would be doing Antarctica this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornet Posted October 26, 2016 #22 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thank you for taking the time to get this information and posting here medroots. Much appreciated. We received our luggage tags and docs today, only 32 days to go before sail away in Buenos Aries. Very exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairsin Posted October 26, 2016 #23 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Medroots, Thank you so much for taking some time from your holiday to respond about the Hotel Director. The chef is new to me but if the Phillip is the same Phillip we were with on one a the small ships a few years ago then we will see another familiar face. Hope your weather has warmed up.
