It’s reported that Cruise Saudi, a relative newcomer to the global cruising industry, bought the vessel in late February for US$330 million. Renamed Manara, the ship is expected to start sailing under its new ownership this summer.
Speaking about the acquisition, Cruise Saudi CEO Lars Clasen said: “The ship has been renamed to reflect its new ownership and will now undergo a refit.”
