- This page
is devoted to postcards and photographs of the 1971 Cunard Line cruise ship Cunard Adventurer, sold to Norwegian Caribbean
Line
(NCL) in 1977, becoming the Sunward II. She was sold again to Epirotiki
Line
in 1991, becoming the Triton. Epirotiki combined with Sun Line to form Royal
Olympic Cruises,
which were subsequently taken over by Cyprus-based Louis Cruises
Lines.
-
- Following
the success of Norwegian
Caribbean's
Starward and Skyward, a second pair of NCL sisters were ordered
from Italian builders, to be named Southward and Seaward.
The cost of the second ship increased following the nationalisation
of the builders, and the order was cancelled. She eventually
appeared as P&O's Spirit of London. Norwegian Caribbean waited until 1977 before
acquiring more tonnage, when they bought Cunard Line's Cunard Adventurer, which was renamed Sunward II. Sunward (I) had been their pioneer
cruise ship, originally built in 1966 for a UK-Spain-Portugal
service, which was sold in 1972.
-
- In 1991,
Sunward
II
was sold to Epirotiki as the Triton. She passed to the combined
Royal
Olympic Cruises
fleet in 1995. Following the collapse of Royal Olympic, Triton was sold to Louis Hellenic
Cruises
at auction in 2004, and was renamed Coral.
