ARTANIA ex-ARTEMIS in Rotterdam

When introduced in 1984 as the ROYAL PRINCESS, this ship was the last word in cruise ship design. She was Princess Cruises first brand new ship and later she saw service under the livery of P&O Cruises as ARTEMIS.

Photos taken at Rotterdam by Hans Hoffman on 2 June 2011.
