ORIENT EXPRESS ex-PHAROS



The cruise ship ORIENT EXPRESS visited Lisbon only once in 1988, on her positioning cruise after sale to Windjammer Barefoot Cruises. She still had her superb classic original colours as the lighthouse tender PHAROS. She looked very similar to the Portuguese mini liners LÚRIO and ZAMBÉZIA also Scottish built for the East Africa coastal service of Cia Nacional de Navegação.
