One of the world’s oldest cruise ships still in service, the 1948-built Athena, has been chartered by UK cruise operator Page & Moy for four cruises in 2010, replacing another old lady of the seas, Ocean Majesty.
Athena, owned by Portugal’s Classic International Cruises, will undertake two sailings from Harwich and two from Dover next year. The first cruise will be a 15-day Baltic sailing from Harwich on 1 May, which includes a two day stop over in St. Petersburg. This cruise is then followed by a 15-day Iceland/Nordic voyage, calling at three ports in Norway and four in Iceland. Athena then sails again for the UK operator in August, making two cruises from Dover; a 16-day cruise to Iberia, Madeira, Canaries and Morocco, followed by a six day cruise to Amsterdam, Honfleur and Zeebrugge.
