Van Gogh bought by Salamis Cruises

Cypriot cruise line Salamis has bought the 1975-built cruise vessel Van Gogh, previously owned by bankrupt Club Cruise, for US $6.5m. Following a refit the 800 passenger capacity vessel will replace Salamis’ 1962-built Salamis Glory on short cruises from Limassol to Egypt, Israel, the Lebanon, Syria and the Greek islands.  
 
The 600 passenger capacity Salamis Glory is being replaced because she is now SOLAS 2010 compliant. She was built originally as the Brazilian Anna Nery for service in South America, and then operated as Danaos, Constellation, Morning Star and Regency Spirit in the Mediterranean, Mexico and the Pacific.
