For SS pax from the time of Manfredi

This has popped up on the Crystal forum:

It's only for any SS pax with a passing interest in 'where are they now' tales -

although of course the Crystallised care because he has bought their ships.

Interesting,

I  was interested to read the family history of Manfredi.  Many years ago a well known UK Cruise Agent told me that the start of Silversea involved some sort of somewhat murky Italian financial shenanigans - I will say no more than that, but it is good to find out a bit more.

 

We will see how the new Crystal emerges from the depths.

All I really know is that when Mrs Banjo and I cruised on SS  in the mid 1990’s it was really something special that is not the same anymore.
