Neonyx Cruises Set to Start Service on July 15

• May 30, 2024

Neonyx Cruises has officially announced it will start service on July 15 with the Goddess of the Night, which is the former Costa Magica.

The company, run by Seajets, said it is starting a new era of Mediterranean cruising, transforming the cruise experience into an extraordinary voyage of music festival, culture and scenery.

The company said it would offer a “lineup of world-famous DJs performing from sunset to sunrise.”

“With a brand-new concept, its voyages create a new chapter in the cruise industry, offering the ultimate fusion of entertainment and premium cruise hospitality through a series of adult-only three and four-night cruises amongst the Cyclades islands. With a very spacious upper deck design unique in the world, the ‘Goddess of the Night’ establishes itself as a premier floating electronic/dance music festival. Each cruise will have a full line-up of 7-10 international DJs, bringing with it exciting pairings and rarely seen back-to-backs,” the company said.

The itinerary allows passengers to customize their cruise by choosing their port of embarkation and disembarkation to be either Piraeus/Athens or Mykonos, or Cesme, offering over 50 unique itineraries. Guests will have the opportunity to visit Greek islands, including Mykonos and Santorini, as well as the Turkish coastline of Cesme.

Hard pass from me.

[MicCanberra]

Never say never but most likely unlikely for me as well.

Hope for their sake it wasn't just a "build it and they will come". Personally I can't see the demographics coming together in sufficient numbers to make profit.

[JJK2008]

I agree never say never, but from their own description it doesn't look appealing.

[ilikeanswers]

This sounds like essentially a party boat. I could it appealing to the crowds who visit party resorts along the Mediterranean coast. 

[buchhalm]

"Unlimited Coke" would have a new meaning on that ship...

[icat2000]

Sounds like Ibiza on a cruise ship. Pass for me. Never did like the party raves when I was in my eary 20s.

Ooh I can hardly wait 🤪

Here's another reason not to sail on this ship.

The Goddess of the Night has been detained in an Italian port while an investigation is conducted into pour sanitary conditions.

According to the article below it was being used to provide "hotel rooms" for the extra police needed for the Group of Seven summit.

The Police were surprised the number of cabins without the basic facilities of working toilets and air conditioning.

If only they could bring back Sid James and cast back from the dead. What a brilliant "Carry On " movie you could make of this .

Booking our staterooms today.  Just our scene, so why wait?

You know there is a surcharge for a cabin with a working toilet.

All jokes aside I find this interesting, definitely not my style, but there is clearly a market for this crowd on land. I would prefer that crowd to be on a ship they enjoy rather than being on one I enjoy  and hearing them moan about how boring it is.

"...water leaks, unusable toilets and broken air conditioning affecting many cabins."

 

This sounds exactly like the last Explorer cruise 😝

Oh well, there is an afterlife for Dora after all.

Is that a black hull? I can't help but read it as Necronyx.

Just back from a long overseas trip.  We're flushed, of course, so we'll pay it.

Don't you mean there is a surcharge into the rooms with toilets?

As Kim would say:  suites with toilets are only for effluent passengers.

I hope the passengers still get to do these cruises, under-turd!

The property used for the filming of Kath and Kim is quite near to where we live. The house has been bulldozed and a new one has been built on the block.

It was a breath of fresh air to our locally produced content.  Some very clever lines and scenes.
