Cosmos Cruises

[Henry Casciaro]

Dear friends,

Have opened this thread as I believe this company which still exists today provided one of the richest and varied programme of cruises, using mainly Greek owned ships in the early 70's. The quality of their photos and detail of their brochures goes to show how seriously they took the cruise inclusive tours at that time and how important the UK market was for Greece. No less than 6 classic ships were used in this programme each with their own fascinating history! .......Enjoy Henry.
I have divided it into five different sections with one for each ship (for ease of reference) I think it is one of the best brochures of the 1970's.

What a great brochure! and what a selection of ships... personally if I was there to choose I would take the Queen Frederica, a real classic liner... alive and kicking in well after her 40s.
As for the Achilleus (http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=25074), I never saw before a photo of her with Potamiano's livery, and I thought that all her Greek career was spend in Scandinavia.

Henry, what a great piece of maritime history!!!
My favorite would be the Achilleus in the old Potamianos livery. Simply great :D :D :D

I never seen a picture of Achilleus in full livery of Potamianos Epirotiki Cruises. As per Fakta info the ship remaind under charter all the time in Scandinavian Sea.
