Louis puts Seawing into Greek market
31/12/2004
Louis Cruise Lines' latest acquisition, the 401 cabin Seawing (see Seatrade Insider 24/12/2004), will operate out of Piraeus, alongside 600-passenger Calypso and slightly bigger Ithaca (ex Ausonia).
The addition of a third ship for the Greek market is due to strong demand says the company which notes: 'demand for the 2005 programme out of Piraeus has already exceeded the capacity offered by the cruise ships Calypso and Ithaca that were originally designated for the Greek market.'

The three Louis owned ships will be conducting 3, 4 and 7-day cruises from Piraeus to the Greek Islands and Turkey starting spring 2005.

Louis Cruise Line Calypso

Hi,
Anybody got any information or reviews re Calypso. Received brochure today. Prices from Britain next year look good to me, but need more info before proceeding. Am aware its a small boat, personally prefer them that way.
Any information greatly received

Hi Luci,
Sailing out of Tilbury. May to October.
From what I have gathered so far has been doing small 3-4 days cruises in last couple of years. Think it has been chartered for next year. Not sure if we are allowed to put company names on messages.

If you mean the tour operator's name then there's no problem with putting that on the site.

Hi,
Brochure re Calypso cruises out of Britain was sent by travelsphere. Heard of company but never used them before. Still looking for any reviews re this boat, have only managed to find three in total whilst surfing the net.

Thanks in anticipation,
Mumsy.

I'd really like to know if there are any reviews about this line. The brochure looks good, nice size cabins and all the usual facilities
Prices for 2006 are fantastic - eg 7 nights cruise to the Norwegian Fjords from £399.

We sailed on this ship from Cyprus to Egypt. The ship and cabins were quite nice. Several people were seasick even though it was very calm and we were told that it was down to the structure of the ship. Apparently it is a flat-bottomed ship which made it roll a bit. I was one of those that succumbed and it wasn't much fun.

The Calypso use to be Airtours Carousel. We were on the last Carousel cruise and it changed to the Calypso, midnight 23 May 2005. We were told that the ship would be for Italian /Spanish market so I was surprised to see it sailing regulaly from Tilbury.

MOds please delete the Carousel became the Aquamarine :oops:

Was just about to correct you there Margaret, but you did it yourself! :lol:

Yes the Carousel is now the Aquamarine and not the Calypso. It was berthed next to us in Gibraltar last week.
