- 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.
