Saw this recent rendering of what the former Regent Sky could be turned into if she was ever finished. I think she is now named ZOE.

As modern cruise ships go, I've seen worse. Although there is a hint of junior Epic in there. Its difficult to work out from that pic the overall size but those lifeboats look a fair way from the water which I'm not sure if its acceptable these days.

A name like Zoe is usually a sign that a name change to Gilette is imminent though (i.e. razor blades).

That's what you get if you mess with the DNA of 'Norwegain Epic'.

I think someone has just been having fun mix 'n matching N Epic with the now Zoe producing that image. The original renderings from last year of regent Sky were on YouTube. I thought it had been mentioned on CT somewhere back then.

For the first time since at least 2002 she has been moved off to anchorage, so with the very rough lettering depicting the name change, like Matts, I guess her time is nearly up, never having made it to a cruise ship.

She does however now have anchors/chains, which I have not seen before, although others say there are pictures from long ago showing her with them, but I haven't seen one.

doesn't "zoe" mean "life" in greek ? IF so, and indeed Alang, a crude sens of humour.

You are right, Zoe means Life in greek.
No one knows what will happen with her.
I was wondering if the engines are still fitted.

She's now owned by Paris Katsoufis and he is planning to finish the ship which is why AMK was retained to complete the design process.

That funnel looks like a jester's hat. At least it's original.

If the ship is ever completed, I can't imagine a line that would want her except perhaps Lewis.

To me the funnel looks like a molehill.
