Images on this page are from either: 1. The author’s collection and 2. As originally provided by the African Safari Club.

This page contains images of Royal Star’s interiors and pool. I trust that these images will give you an idea of the quality of this fine classic cruise ship! She has been operated by African Safari Club, and cruised out of Mombasa to the “Paradise Islands” of the Indian Ocean, but she has been recently been laid up and under arrest due to non payment of her crew and she is to be auctioned at the end of February 2009.

The company that purchased her is a multi national company, but they formed new company by the name of “PV Ocean Mist Cruises” and they renamed her PV Ocean Mist and had her effectively repaired and comprehensively refitted most of which was completed by the end of 2009. When all the main work had been completed she undertook her deep sea trails, which proved to be a great success and Ocean Mist having already had a shakedown cruise is now ready for her maiden commercial cruise at the end of April 2010.
