FYI
: The 17,042 grt, 536-ft. motor ship
Spirit of London
was
originally ordered
in 1970 by
Norwegian Caribbean Line
as
Seaward
.
NCL pulled out of the deal
following the Italian builders' price hikes, and the hull was sold to P&O.
She vessel was eventually completed in the autumn of 1972.
In 1974, P&O bought Princess Cruises and transferred
Spirit of London
to their fleet, with Princess
operating her as
Sun Princess
, alongside
Island Princess
and
Pacific Princess
.
In 1988 the ship was sold to Premier Cruise Line, becoming their
StarShip Majestic
In 1994, she was purchased by CTC and was renamed
Southern Cross
.
She was renamed again in 1998 when Festival Cruises began operating her as
Flamenco
.
When Festival Cruises collapsed in 2004. she was sold for .25 million at
a bankruptcy auction to Cruise Elysia, who renamed her
New Flamenco
.
In 2007 Club Cruise acquired
New Flamenco
. Club Cruise had
New Flamenco
serve as a
hotel ship in New Caledonia (France) until they failed in late 2008.
The vessel was sold for scrap after over a year of lay up off Singapore.
In 2012 the ship was saved from the scrapyard and was renamed
Ocean Dream
with a dragon painted on her bow. Then owned by Runfeng Ocean Deluxe Cruises,
she began operating cruises from Haikou, China to Halong Bay, Vietnam.
The ship capsized and sank off Laem Chabang, Sri Racha,Thailand in shallow water
on February 27, 2016 after having been abandoned without crew or maintenance for about a year.
An attempt to upright the ship was made but failed.
It was decided the ship would be scrapped on site. By the end of 2019,
much of the wreck that was still above the waterline has now been removed.
