We are thinking about a cruise/tour in Nov on the M/V Blue Monarch. It would cover 3 continents. The cruise starts & ends in Athems with stops in Cairo, Ashdod, Cyprus, Antalya ,& Mykonos.
Sounds pretty interesting but would like to hear from anyone who has either been to these ports or most especially sailed on this ship before.
Well, kind of…. The Blue Monarch used to be the World Rennisiance back in the 1970's when she belonged to the Costa Line.
Here's a link to our cruise pictures from that cruise in 1978:

Those pictures are 30 years old, but I did find a few links to a few sites that have more current information about the line and the shp:
This first one features pictures of the ship through-out the years from Rennisaince to Blue Monarch

The next is a thread on one of our recomended sites, Cruise Critic. It features some current information about the ship from recent cruisers.
