CRUISE & Maritime Voyages (CMV) has announced it will not be renewing the charter contract for its Astoria vessel, meaning she will sail her final season with the company this year.
The decision arrives on the back of CMV purchasing two former P&O Cruises ships last year, with both scheduled to join the fleet from 2021 (CW 29 Nov 2019).
Having joined the cruise line’s fleet back in 2015, Astoria’s farewell season will include a range of northern European cruises departing from Poole and Hull in England.
Managing Director for CMV Australia Dean Brazier cautioned Australian guests that there are only a limited number of spots available on board Astoria before she officially departs the fleet.
“For Australians planning their European breaks this year, this is the last chance to sail on board this classic cruise liner,” Brazier said.
“Astoria’s size provides a fantastic opportunity to reach smaller ports and more destinations,” he added.
Cruises include a 13-night sailing of Iceland in search of the northern lights departing 12 Mar, as well as an 11-night voyage of the Scottish lochs and Ireland.
To mark her exit from the fleet, CMV is also offering up to 65% off her final sailings, with fares from under $100ppts, per night.
