Christian Verhounig, CEO and Chairman of CMV commented:
“The acquisition of the Astor is another important milestone in the strategic development of the Group’s presence in the international markets. Astor has a fine pedigree and provides an important smaller ship premium option within our cruise portfolio.”
“Astor has added 22,000 passengers to our global carryings and since her introduction has proved a firm favourite with high levels of customer satisfaction and repeat business being achieved. Next year we have programmed a special 8 night ex-London Tilbury Round Britain cruise before Astor starts her German market season and forward booking levels are very encouraging.”
