O nautikos δεν έχασε ευκαιρία, αν και τον πήρε κάμποση ώρα να χτενίσει το website του Micke ;-)
Για την επιβράβευση, ας το δούμε στην Σαντορίνη, φωτογραφημένο από διαφορετική οπτική γωνία

Nicholas did'nt quite know where to post this as I could'nt find a thread for Saronic Cruises but found this interesting brochure on ebay and would like to know if anyone knows which ship they had in mind?
The inside photo is obviously a touched up artists impression but the vessel seems familiar and she is a handsome little cruiser......any ideas from my friends ?
Cheers
Henry

Ørnen was built in 1962 by Ålborgs Vaerft A/S, Ålborg, Denmark, for A/S Dampskibsselskabet Øresund. She served on the route Malmö-Copenhagen until 1980, when she was sold to Greek owners and renamed Saronic Sun. She subsequently served for various owners as Mistral, Mistral II, Le Mistral and Rendezvous, until broken up in Texas in 1998.
The Greek history of Saronic Sun included trips in the Aegean in the 1980s as a ship of Blue Aegean Sea Lines, then of Saronic Cruises. After her sale to Alevizos in 1986 she was doing the trip Herakleion-Santorini
It is interesting that as Le Mistral she moved to the country of Vanuatu in the Pacific!

Hi Henry,
The little MISTRAL was my first cruise ship :grin:
I did a day cruise on her back in 1982 from Heraklion to Santorini. She was a charming little ship, clean and tidy but was operated at a rather slow spped.
I remember PORTOKALIS ILIOS (ORANGE SUN) which was doing the same run, passing by like we were stopped.
I will upload some shots from a brochure this weekend.
Thanks Aegina, Nicholas and Ellinis for all the info. I must have missed the thread on this handsome and very interesting vessel.
Henry.
