dougnewmanatsea Posted August 30, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2004 She was originally Renaissance's RENAISSANCE IV, one of the original eight "yacht-sized" Renaissance ships built from 1989 through 1991 (not to be confused with the much larger R ships built from 1998 through 2000). She is owned by the Haji-Ioannou family who bought her from Renaissance in 1996. She is used both as the family yacht as well as chartered to various companies for cruises. Stelios Haji-Ioannou is famous for being the founder of easyJet and the other easy companies. These will soon include easyCruise - really more a foot-passenger-only ferry than an actual cruise product - which will ironically use the former RENAISSANCE II, sister to CLELIA II, though the easyCruise vessel will be refitted in a completely different style than CLELIA II which seems to be basically as she was when Renaissance used her in the 1990s. Aside from her history and basic particulars I don't know all that much about her; as a small and relatively low-key vessel I haven't seen a tremendous lot written about her. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your info. Unfortunately I have the 2004 edition of Berlitz (I get it every other year.) The Clelia II is not in it. Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
