stamfordian Posted July 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2017 We have sailed a few times with Captain G-A and understood he is one of the rotation of captains on Encore. Have always enjoyed his website featuring his wonderful photographs from around the world. However, the most recent posting on there appears to be a year ago when he was leaving Dover on Quest en route to Montreal. Does anyone know where he has disappeared to?:(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gercru Posted July 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2017 As you can see from his entries on his website ("latest comments") , he is apparently on one of the "Little Sisters" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamfordian Posted July 25, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I think not, Gercru. The "little sisters" were sold to Windstar in 2014/15 by which time Captain G-A was in command of Seabourn Quest. He then, I believe, moved to Seabourn Encore. But I have seen nothing since then. His Linked-In profile still shows him as a Seabourn Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twochromic Posted July 25, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I always find these "Captain" threads, on any of the cruise lines, interesting. After perhaps 18 cruises, I can't really say I knew who the captains were. (With one notable exception, Captain Romano on the infamous 1993 Fair Princess Tahiti trip!). I trust the lines to place their ships under the leadership of a highly qualified seaman, which they all do, since I've never sailed Concordia.. It has never made a difference to me who that person might be, similar to the captain on an airline flight. Can't recall any conversations with them! I must just be too antisocial!

wripro Posted July 25, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Anyone who's ever sailed with Captain Geir-Arne will know who he is, one of the most personable and friendly captains on the seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEESRE Posted July 25, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I think at present he is on Vacation, but his last posting was the Encore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markham Posted July 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 26, 2017 One of the great pleasures and advantages for many of us who are repeat cruisers on Seabourn is to get to know the captain. They host 2 receptions and also dinner parties regularly- as do other senior officers and crew. It's all part of what distinguishes Seabourn from most other lines, especially the mass market behemoths. Next week I will see Captain Bathgate on Odyssey, very personable and genuine he is. But it could have been Stig Betten and I would have been looking forward to the opportunity equally. Whether you will sail with other captains such as Mark Dexter on Encore or Tim Roberts on Sojourn or Bjarne Larson on Quest, you will find these officers engaging and generous with their time- on deck, at Seabourn Square or at something organized for the pleasure of all the passengers. And I trust that the irrepressible Geir Arne is enjoying his time off! Happy and healthy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted July 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Thinking of Captains with 'personality' - no news recently of Captain Dag. Is he still with Seabourn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we didn't wear him out! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsanTom Posted July 27, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I think he is in Rome! I will look for him in October and let you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
