Creator's Key Takeaways

the achilles for all of her quirky faults she had a homey spirit about her that is so often missing aboard today's corporate-controlled cruise fleet

i'll have everything on the right side and speaking of superb our waiter rafaeli had literally served aboard the achilles for decades

i just had to get aboard or at least give it my best shot we rushed over to statziona matatima and made our plea

some of course would disagree but i personally don't think the achille lauro had a bad angle

YouTube Video Description↓

The last leg of one of the final cruises of the legendary ACHILLE LAURO, which would burn and sink six weeks later. This video quickly recaps the first five chapters of this story, then begins in the engine control room where the chief engineer shows us the bullet holes left over from the ship's hijacking in 1985. This is followed by a visit to the bridge, then the captain's farewell party where Captain Orsi makes a speech (six weeks later, he was conducting the abandon ship procedure before being the last person to disembark), followed by a gala dinner. The next day in Naples includes a visit to the 1914-built missionary ship DOULOS and the final day sees ACHILLE LAURO return to Genoa where she passes several interesting ships, including the COSTA RIVIERA, newbuilding SILVER WIND, ITALIA PRIMA and GRUZIYA. The video concludes with beautiful shots of the ACHILLE LAURO sailing off on her next cruise. Other ships in this video include: AMERICAN ADVENTURE, ROYAL ODYSSEY, COSTA ROMANTICA, MAHROUSSA, PRINCESA CYPRIA, PRINCESA MARISSA, NISSOS KYPROS, ATALANTE, MERMOZ, PALLAS ATHENA, MELODY, ARMENIYA, OLYMPIC, ODYSSEUS, PACIFIC PRINCESS, STELLA OCEANIS, STELLA SOLARIS, FIESTA MARINA, SEA PRINCE, MARIANNA VI, MARGARITA L, MARIANNA 9, PEGASUS, LA PALMA and the others mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph. #starlauro #fireatsea #classiccruiseships #mediterraneanshippingcompany #msccrociere #shipwrecks #Mermoz #PallasAthena #classicships #oldcruiseships #AchilleLauro #Greekships #Piraeus #Perama #Keratsini #Eleusis #Elefsina #Epirotiki #SunLine #Paquet #Latsis #Genoa #Naples #abandoned ships #shipdisasters #hijackedships #sunken ships
