680 Classic Liners and Cargo-Passengers Ships features I trust these will
continue to provide classic ship enthusiasts the information the are
seeking, but above all a great deal of pleasure!

The company that
purchased her is a multi national company, but they formed new company by the
name of “PV Ocean Mist Cruises” and they renamed her PV Ocean Mist
and had her effectively repaired and comprehensively
refitted most of which was completed by the end of 2009. When all the main work
had been completed she undertook her deep sea trails, which proved to be a
great success and Ocean Mist having already had a shakedown cruise is now ready
for her maiden commercial cruise at the end of April 2010. But troubled times
were ahead!
