KUNGSHOLM of 1966 revisited

The passenger ship OCEANIC II, ex-MONA LISA, ex- VICTORIA, ex-SEA PRINCESS ex-KUNGSHOLM of 1966 has just visited Lisbon between 13 and 19 September 2007 on her first SCOLAR SHIP voyage with students. The ship is scheduled to return to Lisbon next year in April and September.
Although the refit made in Bremen in 1979 when she was purchased by P&O did in fact spoil the KUNGSHOLM original handsome look, she is still a very interesting example of fine passenger ship architecture of the 1960, as can be stated on the photos published in this post obtained in Lisbon on 2007-09-19.

CRYSTAL SIMPHONY in Lisbon 2007-05-07

The CRYSTAL SERENITY sailing from the Santa Apolónia cruise terminal in Lisbon on 7th May 2007. This terminal is situated in front of the Santa Apolónia railway station exactly where the old COMPANHIA NACIONAL DE NAVEGAÇÃO (CNN) had its dock until 1985. This terminal is particularly charming with the old quarter of Alfama at walking distance.

The CORAL in Lisbon 24-03-2007

The cruise ship CORAL berthed at the Rocha cruise terminal, in Lisbon, on Saturday 24 March 2007. This nice looking cruise ship was built in the Netherlands in 1971 as CUNARD ADVENTURER for the Cunard Line. In 1977 she was sold to NCL and renamed SUNWARD II.
At about this time her exterior looks were changed: the original QE2-style white funnel was replaced by two side by side funnels in order to match the looks of the other NCL cruise ships and the mast was also modified. Later the ship became the TRITON and operated as such for Epirotiki and Royal Olympic Cruises. Following the bankrupcy of ROC she was purchased by present owners Louis Cruises of Limassol, Cyprus.
As CUNARD ADVENTURER, she visited Lisbon in 1971 on her positioning cruise to the Caribbeans. Later she also called as the TRITON in Epirotiky livery, and in 2006 returned as the TRITON.

THE QE2 in Lisbon

It is hard to believe the QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 has been calling in Lisbon for 38 years...
Here there are some photos of this majestic dual purpose Atlantic liner and cruise ship, sad to be the last of her kind when introduced in 1969...
