This page is devoted to the Trasmediterranea sisterships Vincente Puchol and Antonio Lazaro.

 

The Arcadia is owned by Attika Shipping, Piraeus, but has operated on various charters to StarLauro Cruises and Golden Sun Cruises, etc. She was built in 1968 as the Trasmediterranea ferry Vincente Puchol. Bought by Attika Shipping in 1987, and renamed Arkadia. Rebuilt as a cruise ship in 1989, and renamed Arcadia, but soon chartered to StarLauro from 1989-91 and renamed Angelian Lauro (2). She has operated for Golden Sun as Arcadia on Mediterranean cruises since 1997/8, but is still listed as being owned by Attika. Her Trasmediterranea sistership, the Antonio Lazaro, is the missionary ship Logos II. Pictures of Logos II are shown lower on the page for completeness.
