This fourth chapter in Peter Knego's ACHILLE LAURO video series takes us to Egypt, Israel, Cyprus and Rhodes on one of the ship's final cruises before catching fire and sinking off Somalia in late 1994. In addition to the beautiful ACHILLE LAURO and some fascinating places, this video captures several interesting passenger ships along the way. From the magnificent Egyptian State Yacht MAHROUSSA to the PRINCESA CYPRIA and the quirky but wonderful ATALANTE, there's something here for every passenger ship enthusiast. #achillelauro #starlauro #msccruises #atalante #tahitien #willemruys #princesacypria #louiscruises #paradisecruises #oldcruiseships
