SuperyachtNews.com – Owner – EYOS & OCEEF present RV Odyssey

EYOS Expeditions has partnered with Ocean Conservation Exploration and Education Foundation (OCEEF), an organization to educate the world about the ocean through immersive, data-collecting missions aboard OCEEF’s research yacht, RV Odyssey (formerly the MV Alucia.) The advanced vessel will circumnavigate the world with missions in Antarctica, the Chagos Archipelago, the Galapagos and other remote destinations, where they will explore aquatic ecosystems high in biodiversity alongside top scientists, explorers, students, and educators.

EYOS and OCEEF have expressed a shared mission to leverage exploration to drive greater awareness about the Earth’s oceans. EYOS Founding Partner Rob McCallum says: “Working with OCEEF in this way is a natural complement to EYOS’ last few years leading and managing the Five Deeps and Ring of Fire expeditions that dove the Challenger Deep and previously unseen deepsea environments. Odyssey represents the new frontier of expedition travel, mixing cutting-edge science, with adventure travel and expedition cruising. The opportunity and potential for further discovery with this vessel’s program are immense, and it will be tremendously exciting for all those fortunate enough to be onboard.”
