Description

Astor sails for the German TransoceanTours although operated by the British Cruises & Maritime Voyages. Founded as Astor in the Kiel shipyard in 1987 and destined for a company operating in Mauritius, it changed its name and ownership over time, until 1995 when it restored its original name and entered into service for TransoceanTours. Today Astor offers Premium class cruises in an elegant and welcoming environment, making it a very popular ship in Europe. The structural concept is of course that of thirty years ago, but it is appreciated for its classic style of cruising and the intimacy that you breathe on board. Gabriele Bassi

Ein Schiff, das nicht modern, aber komfortabel und mit fortschrittlichen Dienstleistungen ist. Wir fanden uns sehr gut mit einem wirklich erstaunlichen Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
