The first cruise ship<br />

The Homeric was built in 1986<br />

for Home Lines; in 1990 as the<br />

Westerdam it was converted for<br />

Holland America Line, USA and<br />

extended by 40 metres to 244<br />

metres. Never before had a cruise<br />

liner of this size been extended<br />

to this extent. The major conversion<br />

and extension work also<br />

included additional cabins, the<br />

two-storey show lounge and<br />

extended restaurants. Since 2002,<br />

the ship has been running under<br />

the name Costa Europe for the<br />

Italian Costa line.<br />

The Crown Odyssey delivered in<br />

1989 was one of the most luxurious<br />

cruise liners of its day for<br />

worldwide voyages. The owner<br />

who had placed the order was<br />

the Greek Royal <strong>Cruise</strong> Line.<br />
