Henry, this is truly rare as I am not sure if the EL GRECO actually sailed in this itinerary. I remember seeing a photo of her that period, laid up at Piraeus without Epirotiki’s livery.
Both she and ARION had a short stint as Caribbean cruise ships.
The fact that VERGINA started life in Israeli hands, had actually put her in the “black books” of certain Arab states. So in her last years she was arrested for this reason in Libya and remained laid up for some time there with her crew kept under custody. I remember the shipowner mentioning in an interview, “let them keep the ship and turn it into a museum, just release the crew”.
