- This page is devoted to
postcards of the 1981 cruise ship
Europa of
Hapag-Lloyd, the third ship of this name in
the Norddeutsche
Lloyd and Hapag-Lloyd fleets.
-
- Europa (3) was built for Hapag-Lloyd in 1981
by Bremer Vulkan. She weighs 37012grt, is 656ft long and has
engines of 28900hp.
Europa
(3) carried
770 passengers, and cruised worldwide for Hapag-Lloyd until 1999,
when she passed to
Star
Cruises on delivery
of
Europa
(4). In 2000,
she is the SuperStar
Aries (after
being originally renamed
SuperStar
Europe). In
March 2001 it was announced that
SuperStar Aries would transfer to the
Orient Lines fleet (also owned by Star Cruises) from 2002 as
their Ocean
Voyager. This
transfer did not take place and
Orient Lines reverted to a single ship operation with Marco Polo.
SuperStar Aries was sold to
Pullmantur in 2004 and renamed Holiday Dream.
Pullmantur was acquired by
Royal Caribbean in 2006, and from May 2008
Holiday Dream will operate for new new French subsidiary CDF Croisières
of France as Bleu de France.
