- Royal
Viking Sea
-
-
- Royal Viking Sea was built for Royal Viking Line in 1973. Royal Viking Sea
was the second of three sisterships, the others being Royal Viking Star (1972) and Royal Viking Sky (1973). Royal
Viking Line were
acquired by Kloster (NCL) in 1984, and initially retained
their separate identity. Royal Viking Sea was then transferred
to Royal
Cruise Line in
1990 as the Royal Odyssey (2). Royal Odyssey was
transferred back into the main NCL
fleet in 1996 as Norwegian Star. She briefly operated
for the NCL subsidiary Norwegian Capricorn
Line in the Australian market, and in 2001 became part of the
Star Cruises fleet as Norwegian Star I, before return to owners Actinor Shipping. After
a period laid up as Crown, she was placed on weekly cruises
from Valencia as Crown Mare Nostrum for Spanish Cruise
Line, by this time owned by the Dutch Cruise Club. From 2005
she is running as the Albatros
(2) for Phoenix Reisen, replacing the Albatros
(1) (previously
Sylvania, Fairwind, Sitmar Fairwind and Dawn
Princess, which
was sold for scrap by owners V-Ships).
