Royal Olympia Cruises profile

Royal Olympia Cruises has ceased operations and the ships have been sold to other cruise operators.

Royal Olympic Cruises was created in 1995 as a result of the merger of two well known Greek cruise lines - Sun Line Cruises and Epirotiki Line. Basically Royal Olympic operates the ships under two brands - the "blue ships" (Stella Solaris, Stella Oceanis, Odysseus, World Renaissance and Olympic Voyager) and the "white" ships" (Triton, Orpheus and Olympic Countess). The first brand is offering more upscale service to adventurous passengers, refined , conservative ambiance and style of traditional oceanliner. The "white ships" are similar in their appeal, but at somewhat lower quality level. On the crew and staff side, Royal Olympic offers slightly lower salaries than the well established U.S. based cruise lines, but the lifestyle on board and the interesting itineraries attract employees to this cruise line.
