This page is still under construction!
This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Majestic International Cruises vessel
Ocean Majesty
, built as the
Trasmediterránea
ferry
Juan March
.
Ocean Majesty
was built as
Juan March
in 1966 by Union Naval de Levante S.A., Valencia, for
Trasmediterránea
services from Spain to the Balearic Islands.
Juan March
was the first of two Albatros Class ferries from these builders, the other being
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
.
Two further sisters were built by Sociedad Espanola de Construccion Naval, Bilbao,
Santa Cruz De Tenerife
and
Ciudad de Compostela
.
The Albatros Class had berths for 500 passengers and carried 100 cars, which were side loaded. They could not carry freight vehicles, which limited their use in later years. The Albatros Class were the main
Trasmediterránea
ships on the Canaries and Balearic routes for about 10 years until the
Tiburon Class
and
Canguro Class
ferries arrived in the late 1970s. They were then used on secondary routes, as relief ships, and to open new routes until 1985, when all except were
Ciudad de Compostela
sold.
Juan March
operated out of Valencia until 1985 when she was sold to Sol Mediterranean as the
Sol Christina
, serving Piraeus-Rhodes-Limassol-Alexandria. The following year she was renamed
Kypros Star
for Opale Lines, and in 1987-88 she was chartered to Adriatica for their Brindisi-Patras service. In 1989 she was sold for conversion to a cruise ship (535 passengers), reappearing as the
Ocean Majesty
of Majestic Cruises. In 1994 she was renamed
Olympic
, and then chartered to
Epirotiki Lines
who named her
Homeric
in the same year. In 1995 she became the
Ocean Majesty
again, and subsequently ran charters with Page & Moy and others.
