Dear friends, I found it strange that this emblematic ship which was so important in the development of Chandris Cruises does not have a thread of its own (at least I cannot find one) so have decided to open one with a few good pictures and photos from a selection of brochures (in two parts)

She was an elegant ship in a very American way and had a certain style which proved very popular with Chandris cruisers. Her pattern of cruises was mainly Mediterranean/Europe in summer and Caribbean in winter.
And she had some very special and unique features including twin swimming pools with what seemed a connecting slide! and a very elegant split level lounge from her American days. Another unusual feature was that she used one of the forward kingposts as an exhaust as you can see from some of the pictures.

All in all she proved to be an excellent acquisition for Chandris Cruises and together with Romanza were regarded as the biggest and best in their fleet (excepting the Regina Magna of course which came later) before the merger

Enjoy, Henry.
