Classic International Cruises

Classic International Cruises was a British-Australian owned shipping company operating five luxury cruise ships, most notably its flagship, the rebuilt ocean liner Athena.

The Princess Danae entered service with an all-white hull and a sailing ship logo on her funnel.

Funchal was given a yellow and blue striped funnel and a white hull, but by 2000 her livery was changed to what now all Classic International ships have.
