The CRUISE OLYMPIA vessel has completed its last trip as part of the Minoan Lines fleet. Now, it’s officially been renamed and rebranded as CRUISE SARDEGNA, part of the Grimaldi Lines fleet. This ship will operate the Livorno – Olbia route, starting from Wednesday, February 17th.
The CRUISE SARDEGNA is replacing the CRUISE OLBIA, which is the vessel previously operating this route. Therefore, it is expected that CRUISE OLBIA will be the vessel that will start operating the routes to Ancona.
