The P&O cruise ships ARTEMIS and OCEANA photographed in Lisbon on 19 and 20 September 2006 by Luís Miguel Correia.
It is hard to realize that the ARTEMIS is now 22 year old 
specialy because it means that my tenth 5-year survey is due in a very short term. I can not blame, for it has been a life full of ships in all possible ways, and in a positive mood I look forward for the ships I'll be able to photograph over the next fifty years...
Classic International Cruises PRINCESS DANAE sailing past the beautiful city of Lisbon on her way to the Mediterranean on 11 September 2006, photographed by Luis Miguel Correia.
In February 1975 I started taking photographs to passengers ships in Lisbon and one of the first brand-new ships I was able to register in film was the BYELORUSSIYA. 
Thirty one years later she is still around and looking smart, as can be observed on the photos taken at Lisbon on 10 September 2006.
In the end five sister were built in Finland and they are all still in service.
When the brand-new ASTOR was introduced in 1981 by HADAG of Hamburg she was one of the first newbuilding cruise ships starting a new generation of purpose built vessels giving new hope to passenger ship enthusiasts. 
So far she has had a long career under several operators and names, sailing now as the ASTORIA. The adjoining photos were taken in Lisbon on 22 July 2006 and the ship as berthed at the Alcântara terminal.
