The Finnish owner, Diamond Cruises, whose shareholders include Rauma Yards, Mitsui OSK Lines, and Radisson Hotels, a U.S. hotel chain, plans to use the high-tech luxury liner in Caribbean service. The 18,400-gt cruise vessel, which will have a crew of 170, is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 1992. The contract also included op- tions for two more cruise ships. Rauma Yards is a substantial builder of small- and medium-sized cruise liners. Besides this new order, the yard is building two expedition cruise liners for a West German owner, and has signed a contract with Effjohn International for a cruise liner to replace the fire-dam- aged Sally Albatross.
