Actual Impressions from AZORES (from January 2015 Cruise and Maritime)

25th of July 1956... Two ocean liner crashed in the North Atlantic STOCKHOLM and ADREA DORIA. While ANDREA DORIA sank, STOCKHOLM could return with her own power back to New York.

STOCKHOLM became later VÖLKERFREUNDSCHAFT (Friendship between peoples), it was THE cruis ship of the GDR (German Democratic Republic / East Germany).

And today she is AZORES. A true classic ship with a lot of history.

Unfortunately she will leave the German market end of August but will join the British Market in January 2015. A short report from a party night in April:

(in total five chapters - please click on "Newer Post" at the bottom of the page to continue)

Even though a ship with a lot of charme.

I know that the first cruise under the flag of Cruise and Maritime will be from January 2015 and I am sure you will have a totally different "software" onboard.

Anyhow: just take the pictures of the "hardware" for your anticipation. And maybe pictures from the cabins and restaurant will help you to make your right decision for your bookings.

A ship with history.

Wonderful classic cabins.

Where do you find on the big US-ships jacuzzi-function in your bath tub - in a ocean view cabin.

And bidets in all cabins! Classic Luxury pure!

A wonderful open deck at the aft.

If you think that the shape of the ship is familiar to you: the former ATHENA of Travelscope.

Let me guess: Even THIS SHIP you liked more than Celebrity Millennium... :D

Did the steward steal some shower gel for you?

No need to steal by the steward.

There are lines with different standards. So other provide body wash as standard.

By the way: as you force it: you must tell Celebrity in Miami that it was the Hotel Director and the Housekeeping Manager who stole the shower gel onboard of CELEBRITY MILLENNIUM.

So go and call the police.

By the way for all others: celebrity fan was neither on AZORES nor on CELEBRITY MILLENNIUM. So the best is it ignore him.
