Creator's Key Takeaways

it's a wonderful way to spend an anniversary i would think on on a ship on a cruise with a generous line which we've been before on the chandler's line

this ship we found was affordable yet it had the great itinerary which we wanted with the ship with a different island every day

it's a pleasure just to relax on board the ship and just take it easy

we've met a lot of interesting people from different parts of the world from europe from canada from the united states it's a blending of all sorts of cultures aboard a single ship which makes it fascinating

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Don't forget to relax at one of the open-air restaurants in St. Thomas
โœ“Choose from breakfast in the quiet of your cabin or meet on deck for the poolside buffet

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

MV the Azur was built in 1971 as the cruise/car ferry Eagle. In 1975 she was renamed Azur for Paquet Cruises and eventually rebuilt into a full-time cruise ship. In 1987 Chandris Line/Chandris Fantasy Cruises (the precursor to Celebrity Cruises) purchased the ship and she sailed with them up until 1994. After, she sailed for Festival cruises as the Azur from 1994-2004. From 2005-2014 she was renamed the Royal Iris and then renamed Roy Star from 2014-2017 for Mano Maritime. From 2017 to present she sails as the Knyaz Vladimir for Black Sea Cruises. She is the last remaining Chandris vessel in operation today and considered to be one of the oldest cruise ships in the world still in operation.
