Again HORIZON...

The cruise ship HORIZON photographed in November before her positioning voyage to Brazil.

She is the former PACIFIC DREAM renamed by Pullmantur to suit the Brazilian charterers needs in terms of marketing.

HORIZON is the ship's original name as the first newbuilding of Celebrity Cruises, then a Chandris Group company. In 2012 she will be transferred to the French market and renamed BLEU HORIZON in replacement of BLEU DE FRANCE recently sold to Saga Cruises.

Photo kindly sent by Captain Augusto Moita of the HORIZON.
