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.

Navio de cruzeiros ORIENT EXPRESS que passou em Lisboa uma única vez em 1988 no único cruzeiro que efectuou com este nome após ter sido comprado. Construído em 1955 na Escócia como navio balizador com o nome PHAROS. Actual AMAZING GRACE.
