ATLANTIC STAR TO OPERATE IN BRAZIL



The cruise steamship ATLANTIC STAR is not set to be laid up in Marseilles after further employment was found for her in Brazilian waters on a joint operation by CVC Cruises and Pullmantur. The more classic ship in Pullmantur's fleet departed yesterday 24 May on her final cruise from Lisbon and will be replaced on 31 May by more modern fleet mate PACIFIC DREAM.
ATLANTIC STAR sails from Lisbon on a positioning transatlantic voyage for Recife on 7 June 2009 and starts a new series of cruises from Santos on 1 July. The new schedule includes a long series of 7-day cruises along the Brazilian coast with Saturday departures from Santos and Sunday departures from Rio de Janeiro, calling also at Vitória and Salvador.
The cruises will be also marketed in Spain as fly cruises using Air Pullmantur's 3 Boeings 747.
