Floating Paradise Lost: M.V. ENRICO COSTA To Norway and the U.K. 1993

Join Peter Knego on his 1993 cruise from Amsterdam to Norway and Tilbury on Costa Line's classic 1951-built ENRICO COSTA. The ship was built in 1951 as the French liner PROVENCE and purchased by Costa Line in 1965, becoming their ENRICO C for Genoa to Buenos Aires line voyages and part time cruising. She became ENRICO COSTA in 1984 and was completely rebuilt and re-engined with diesels in 1989. She was sold to Star Lauro/MSC Cruises a year after this video was shot, becoming the SYMPHONY in 1994. She next became the AEGEAN SPIRIT and then the OCEAN GLORY I. After being arrested at Dover for numerous safety violations, she was sold for scrapping at Alang, arriving there in 2001. Other ships Knego takes you aboard during this voyage include Chandris Fantasy Cruises S.S. AMERIKANIS (ex KENYA CASTLE 1952) and Mercy Ships M.V. ANASTASIS (ex VICTORIA 1953). Also seen in passing are Hapag-Lloyd's 1981-built EUROPA, Royal Caribbean's SUN VIKING and Holland America's then brand new STATENDAM (1993). This is a full length feature at 32 minutes and change, so grab a snack and something to drink and enjoy!
