ARTEMIS in Lisbon 2009-10-28

The Lisbon evening light enveloped the departing P&O ship ARTEMIS on 28 October 2009.

She has just left the Alcântara cruise terminal and the photos were taken from nearby Junqueira waterfront.

Now 25 year-old, the Wartsila-built ARTEMIS was the first ship purpose built for Princess Cruises and was introduced in 1984 as ROYAL PRINCESS. To see more P&O ships in Lisbon click here...

Her next name change is set for April 2011 on delivery to Phoenix Reisen as ARTANIA.

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...
