Fairsea & Fairwind, which were built in 1956 as Cunard Liners, but …
The MAIN INDEX is located below the
Introduction
Therefore, I hope and pray that the following 29
pages will have you reliving your Sitmar experience or possibly experiences, be
it sailing to or from Europe/UK to
All Sitmar ships, except the SS Fairsky (4) (became the SS Pacific Sky) and the MV Sitmar FairMajesty (currently the Pacific Pearl) were old tonnage, which were given an extensive rebuild to become either an austere or later more upmarket migrant liners, some even a high quality liner, come cruise ship.
Ships in this feature include; Castel Bianco, Castel Verde, Castel Felice, Fairsea (1), Fairsky (1), Fairwind, Fairsea (2). In 1984 Sitmar’s only new ship, named, Fairsky (4) was completed. Late in the eighties Sitmar ordered a 63,500 GRT cruise ship to be named Sitmar FairMajesty, however, whilst being built, Sitmar was taken over by P&O Princess Cruises and she was completed as the Star Princess, which later became P&O UK’s MV Arcadia, and is currently P&O Cruises Australia Pacific Pearl, and she is still and amazing ship! Two other remarkable ships were designed by Sitmar, but they were also taken over by P&O and were named Regal Princess and Crown Princess, but today they are the Pacific Dawn and Pacific Jewel respectively.
I certainly trust you will enjoy this very
special 29 page feature on a company I greatly love and have sailed with countless
times and I certainly hold Sitmar very dear - thus now go and read? all about … All of … the Sitmar Ships.
