Chandris Regina (1968) ???


Recommended Posts

My folks took the family on a Caribbean cruise out of Curacao in December 1968. I read in these pages that Chandris had purchased a ship and renamed it Regina Magna (or something like that) in ’71 so that wasn’t it. We stopped in Trinidad, Barbados, Martinique, St.Vincent and Caracas. There was a lot of food. Since I was 14, this was a good thing.

Anyone know any history about this ship and what eventually happened to her?

Regina / Regina Prima was a little gem in the Chandris fleet. Cruised mostly Mediterranean / Atlantic Isles in the spring to autumn season. Winterseason varied - Caribbean and and later Red Sea or also charterwork for other operators. Sometimes she was laid up at Piraeus.

Two charters who were remarkable, was winter Dec-Mar 1974/1975 (6 trips) and winter Dec-Mar 1975/1976 (7 trips).

She was chartered to the argentine state shipping Line ELMA for cruising in antarctic waters.
