FESTIVAL CRUISES.

The funnel follows starboard photographs of European Stars and a port-side photograph of Mistral.

George Poulides launched Festival Cruises in 1994 with The Azur. It traded in America as First European Cruises or Festival Cruises (First European), with operations through London and New York companies. A proposed P&O purchase announced in May 2000 was abandoned that year because of low cruise-line share values. The account dates collapse to the end of 2003 and final cessation to May 2004. Ships were sold to other operators: Azur became Royal Iris for Mano Marime, still under Festival Shipping & Tourist Enterprises’ agency.
