Welcome aboard!

CTC, as a company, disappeared after their charter of SOUTHERN CROSS ended in 1997.

The SOUTHERN CROSS went to Festival Cruises (also now defunct) as FLAMENCO and now is with the Spanish cruise line Travelplan as NEW FLAMENCO.

KARELIYA later became OLVIA and is now the gambling ship NEPTUNE out of Hong Kong.

CTC Cruises Sydney office closed it's doors in May 1996 and on the 8 October 1997 CTC Cruises London office closed it's office in 1 Regent St London.

The Southern Cross became the Flamenco owned by a Greek company and was painted white. The Kareliya also had a name change and various companies. I worked on both these ships and I have many happy memories of them both.
