MTS City of Rhodos - Cycladic

[thasmin]

Can you help me with a 30 year memory?

 

Does anyone here remember Cycladic Cruises (still exists I think) - and their ship the MTS City of Rhodos. It was a beater of a ship, but it was my first cruise, in 1989.  At this point it has probably been scrapped, but who knows it could have been sold and re-furbished.

 

Our itinerary was  Mykonos / Patmos / Rhodes / Crete / Santorini.

 

Does anybody have any memory of this ship or cruise line? 

 

(I am moving this thread here from the "other cruise lines" location as I was advised to do so.)

Hi Thomas,

 

"City of Rhodes" was the biggest ship of Cycladic Cruises. She was before named "33 Orientales" - an Argentinian coastal ferry which operates for Empresa Flota Fluvial del Estado Argentino on the La Plata River service between Paraguay - Argentina - Uruguay.

Here you can see pictures of her and her lifespan on the latin website:

a deck plan as "City of Rhodos", as you traveled on her:

 

 

best regards

 

Frank
