Classic cruise ships


Several cruise ships photographed in 1975-76 in Lisbon by Luís Miguel Correia: the ITHACA ex-Amélia de Mello, ex- ZION, and the German REGINA MARIS built in 1966.

CALYPSO ex-SOUTHERN CROSS in Lisbon




At the same time the more modern NORTHERN STAR was doing her final cruises, her former fleet mate and elder near sister CALYPSO ex-SOUTHERN CROSS returned to service as the Greek owned Thomson Cruises operated CALYPSO in June 1976. She was very successful and sailed for many years under several names, mostly in US waters until scrapped recently in the Far East...
Those photos were taken in Lisbon by L. M. Correia on CALYPSO's maiden cruise after rebuilding.
