Thanks of the pictures and movies. Makes me sentimental looking at them - it was in Kusadasi that I saw Ausonia for the first time - nice to see her and Daphne still around.

I read somewhere that Ausonia/Aegean II is to be "retirede " (i guess it means alanged) within the next 12 months, together with Serenade.

J

I don't know about Ausonia but what I saw and heard aboard Serenade it sounds very plausible that Serenade will be retired soon - not only that some of the crew and Louis employees indicated that she will be retired soon.e.g. some davits said 'to be renewed in 2008' (all others in 2009) - I doubt that it makes economically sense to do that. (this moment I am starting to transfer the video raw material of my short trip with Serenade to my harddisks - I guess it will be online in some weeks from now)

Some weeks ago I made a hand-written list with cruise ships in Kusadasi in September 2007.

I found BRILLIANCE OF THE SEAS 5.09.

Now I would like to confirm these dates, because I would like to fly... But I cannot found this cruise in the web.

Can somebody confirm it with times?

Thank you.

Karsten

Hello all,

Louis officially announced that some of the entire ships will soon depart the company’s fleet.

Here is the official announce posted in another threat in Cruise lines section:

“Louis decided to buy newer ships after the Sea Diamond’s wreck few months ago. Speaking to Tradewinds magazine, Louis Managing Director, Stelios Koiliaris referred to the changes that his company intends to adopt. “The Company must upgrade its fleet, so as to be competitive in the cruise market. After the acquisition of Crystal, which replaced Sea Diamond, we intend to buy another cruise ship constructed in 1990, which will be able to host 1,500 passengers. The acquisition has been scheduled before summer 2008”, he said.
According to Mr. Koiliaris, Louis will replace more cruise ships in the next few years. “We intend to replace Aegean II, which was constructed in 1957, Princessa Marissa of 1966 and Serenade of 1957. These cruise ships are not in line with the new Safety of Life at Sea (Solas) Regulations of 2010 and must be replaced”, he added.
Speaking to StockWatch, Louis Finance Director, Costas Hadjimarcos confirmed the statements. “Louis aims to sell the three cruise ships before the end of 2008. We are currently having contacts with several interested parties. The ships will be possibly replaced with newly-fangled ships”, he noted. “

Any ideas of what ships will louis get in order to replace these 3 ships? Also I don’t know if all of the remaining ships can pass the regulations of solas 2010!

With the exceptions of Princessa Marissa, Serenade and Ausonia, there is still The Emerald witch was also constructed in 1957, Sapphire witch was constructed in 1967, and Calypso witch was also constructed in 1967.
