Airtours Carousel Cruise Ship
Nice memories of SUNDREAM and her sister CAROUSEL when they used to call frequently in Funchal.
Airtours carousel cruise ship. Airtours last shop was the Sunbird. The American Dream and The African adventure. The Song of Norway is a sister ship to the Nordic Prince which Royal Caribbean sold to Airtours in 1994 for 55 million.
In 1997 Airtours acquired a stake in Costa Crociere the worlds fourth largest cruise business specialising in Mediterranean cruising. By selling the Song of Norway only the 714-passenger Sun Viking remains of Royal Caribbeans original 1970s-built fleet. We sailed on all of their ships.
Like Airtours itself Sun Cruises was founded to provide intending British holiday makers with inexpensive air and sea vacation packages at affordable rates. And offers high quality affordable cruising. Operating at the budget end of the market Airtours reported ships filled with passengers mainly from England but also from Scandinavia during its first summer season.
Airtours Cruises is considered one of the United Kingdoms largest tour operators with a focus on the family. Actually Airtours now has 4 ships The SeawingCarouselSundream and new for 1999 The Sunbird. We sailed on Sundream and Carousel about 8 times before the cruise line closed down.
