After more than 30 years away from its origins this is the return of this "old friend". Welcome back I hope to see this beautiful vessel many more times around here. We don't see many times a vessel with this old and classic lines...for me it is amazing to see something like this...is like I made a visit to the past.
This vessel in the past belonged to "Empresa Insulana de Navegação" and now was "saved" from a non clear future. Today she belongs to "Portuscale cruises". I hope that it can sail for many more years.
