Dear Friends
Because this is a Greek forum and just to end with a myth that exists in all ships postcards collectors of the world...
Does somebody know if Festival ever made official company postcards portraying their last ship the M/S CARIBE ( prseently Classic International Cruises Athena, ex-Valtur Prima, ex-Itlia Prima,etc) :confused::confused::confused:
Comments are welcome!;)

I don't have a postcard but if they printed this promotional folder with interior pictures and deck plans there must have been postcards issued.
Best regards

Φαίνεται πως θα κάνει τις 7-ημερες κρουαζιέρες. Το ερώτημα είναι γιατί ναυλώσαν αυτό και δεν χρησιμοποιούν το BLUE MONARCH που φαίνεται να μη δουλεύει φέτος...

She is in Australian waters at the moment doing a season of cruises marketed by Creative cruising. She will be back in time to start her 7 day cruises ex Piraeus for Med Classic Cruises.
Its incredible when you think that this classic ship which sunk the Andrea Doria so many years ago is still successful and in active service today!
Our Greek friends are lucky to have her based out of Piraeus this coming season doing regular cruises to Egypt. You will have pleanty of opportunities to photograph her!
Best regards Henry.
Her owners are still Italian? In the past Nina SpA wass her registered owner, but this month it was changed to the Panama-based First Quality Cruises.
She was chartered back in 2003 to Festival, chartered to Arcalia in 2005, sub-chartered by Arcalia to Vision Cruises, and now to Med Classic.
She is still managed by Lisbon-based World Cruises, so from what I understand she is still sub-chartered by Arcalia to Med Classic.
