After its arrival last month, the Aegean Odyssey liner is once again expected in Cherbourg-en Cotentin for a two-day stopover (overnight) on Monday August 1 and Tuesday August 2 from 08 a.m. to 21 p.m. with 245 passengers, mainly Americans on board. .

AEGEAN ODYSSEY was originally an Israeli ferry built in the 1970s. It was transformed into a cruise liner in 1988, then decommissioned in the early 2000s. It was extensively modified in 2010 and returned to service on behalf of the company Voyages to Antiquity.

In 2019 the company decided to stop its operations with the vessel, giving the company Road Scholar (a non-profit organization) the opportunity to charter it until 2023.

This organization specializes in educational cruises for people over 50, with the ship serving as a floating campus for exploring the world.
