Wasn't Elation in Mobile for a while? And Holiday is certainly still around and for sale, if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggarforresterships.com/auctions is handling the sale the CMV ships. The first auction is Oct 8. They post buyer and price. I have always been interested to know how much a used cruise ship actually sells for, not just the asking price. The smaller cruise lines that don't go under, pardon the phrase, are now able to update their fleet. Regarding Elation and Paradise, they are the newest and have the forward deck cabins added, likely they will be the final two Fantasy class to go.

roeco9084 Posted October 4, 2020 #111 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I did read an article talking about 30 sold cruise ships and it showed The Carnival Fascination has been sold to buyers from South Korea. Would be an interesting development if that was the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roeco9084 Posted October 7, 2020 #112 Share Posted October 7, 2020 An odd thing happened recently...Carnival Fascination 3 days ago or so went from Cadiz to Cadiz Anchorage and just today came back to Cadiz. What an odd movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quoted xDisconnections, whose post has since apparently been deleted. What I typed was just a little humor about today's times. You know, people ordering groceries through delivery services, like Instacart, these days. I am not knowledgable on ship lay-ups. Except that I've read there are different states of readiness. Some ships go out so sea once for some functions, while other ships have been in port for months. Just a guess it has something to do with that.

Wikipedia says the ship was auctioned on the 9th, not stating the buyer. The Eggar Forrester site does not show a sale, but they state they've had trouble with the sale page. The Vasco da Gama dates from 1993. The best of the bunch at auction IMO. It could still be profitably servicable for years, but I wonder, in today's market, who is buying?

Announced today that it went to Mystic Investments, an Italian travel firm that holds a couple of river cruising companies and an Antarctic cruise line called Mystic Cruises. No word on what they will do with it. Not suited to either role. Amount not disclosed. However, the company that bought the former Pacific Dawn, which is to become the Satoshi said they could not have afforded the purchase in 2019. Perhaps too good a deal to pass up?
