Classic International Cruises
In 2010 we once again started promoting Classic International Cruises again. We'd previously promoted their cruises in the mid 90's but as a company we were excited about their new cruise offerings from Scotland.
Athena's early 2011 sailings proved very popular with sailings to Iceland and the North Cape from Scotland and Northern England.
For 2012 we are pleased to highlight another ship in Classic's fleet called Arion.

Arion With a yacht-like ambience, Arion has a particular style, charm and grace which can only be found on vessels of this size. Recently refurbished, Arion is able to offer you a truly memorable cruising experience combined with a service that is second to none.
In March 2000, the Arion underwent a total reconstruction made in Lisbon on the amount of 15 million dollars. Her interiors were designed and decorated by Arminio Lozzi and George Potamianos, who were able to create a subtle atmosphere of light blending and soft colours through it's new public rooms and passenger cabins. Renamed as "Arion" and coming under Arcalia’s management in 2000, the ship has been sailing since then around the globe.
Aboard, the restaurant provides a warm and relaxing environment in which to enjoy the leisurely prepared meals prepared for you by our international Chefs. Classic International Cruises menus are designed under the personal supervision of our Corporate Chef, Laurent Manceau. Alternatively you may wish to enjoy lunch "al fresco" style in the Lido Lounge Bar, and don't forget afternoon tea when you can savour a selection of finger sandwiches, fresh warm scones and a choice of tea from the wide selection carried on board. .
A cruise on board Arion is the ideal choice for passengers wishing to visit cosy harbours and ports of call larger vessels are not able to access. After a perfect day ashore or simply relaxing on deck, why not enjoy an after dinner drink in one of Arion's intimate lounges before taking in the show or enjoying the night sky from the open deck. |
