Cruise Lines

I see to see on the Travelmole website that the Orient Lines' brand has been bought and will be back with us if the new owner can find a ship.

Orient Lines was the "discovery" arm of Star Cruises and put up for sale last year because it really didn't fit with the Star/Norwegian Cruise Line concept of growing fleets of lively big ships.

Orient Lines' one ship, Marco Polo, was sold to a Greek company and is now chartered by Transocean Tours and operating cruises from Tilbury to the Norwegian fjords and Baltic before heading off to the Antarctic this winter.

As its much-the-same 2009 programme is already out and selling, I assume that's one ship the new owners will have to strike off the list of possibles.
