<div><strong style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="color:#000080;"><span style="font-size:22px;">Ms Artania and ms Oceana in Rotterdam </span></span></strong><br></div><div><strong><span style="color:#000080;"><span style="font-size:22px;"></span></span></strong><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Ms Artania, berthing in Rotterdam three times this month: 10/11, 14 and </span><span style="font-size: 12px;">again tomorrow the 18th. She will be making short cruise trips to Hamburg </span><span style="font-size: 12px;">and back. On the 23th she will get ready for a Mediterranean cruise from </span><span style="font-size: 12px;">Hamburg. Monday the 15th ms Oceana sailed into the city </span><span style="font-size: 12px;">heart of Rotterdam coming from Portugal, because of bad weather elsewhere.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Since the "MS Artania" began to sail for Phoenix Reisen, she went through a <span style="font-size: 12px;">series of modernizations. Today it is safe to say that - though built in 1984 - </span></div><div>she is still a modern and beautiful ship. A unique feature for a ship of this size <span style="font-size: 12px;">is the fact that all staterooms are exterior cabins - inside staterooms do not </span></div><div>exist.</div><div><br></div><div>With a length of 231 meters she accommodates up to 1.200 passengers. This <span style="font-size: 12px;">means a lot of space per guest. In 1984 the vessel was christened "Royal </span></div><div>Princess" by Lady Diana. In 2011 she was named "Artania" and is Phoenix’ <span style="font-size: 12px;">largest ship. To admire in Rotterdam the first two days (overnight) and the </span></div><div>other days mentioned from approx. 2am to 9pm.</div><div><br></div><div><img alt="" style="width: 300px; height: 175px;" data-cke-saved-src="http://www.cruiselegend.com/News/images/EditorUploadedImages/b670402c-2c1f-43b4-99c6-07c0a2af9d00.jpeg" src="http://www.cruiselegend.com/News/images/EditorUploadedImages/b670402c-2c1f-43b4-99c6-07c0a2af9d00.jpeg"> <br></div><div><img alt="" data-cke-saved-src="http://www.cruiselegend.com/News/images/EditorUploadedImages/958f6173-7d2d-4fa4-8cb9-05ae0415bd88.jpeg" src="http://www.cruiselegend.com/News/images/EditorUploadedImages/958f6173-7d2d-4fa4-8cb9-05ae0415bd88.jpeg" style="font-size: 12px; width: 300px; height: 171px;"></div><div><br></div>
