THE AZAMARA PURSUIT, from the Azamara Cruises company, will be stopping at the port of Cherbourg-en-Cotentin. On board, 481 passengers, the majority American.

Inaugurated on February 16, 2001 for Renaissance Cruises as R EIGHT, this pretty ship will only remain in the fleet for a few months as it will be decommissioned in September. She was then bought by Swan Hellenic and became the MINERVA II in 2003. Sold in 2006 to Princess Cruises, she became the ROYAL PRINCESS in April 2007, then the ADONIA four years later during her transfer to P&O Cruises. He was chosen by the Carnival group to launch a new social impact brand in spring 2016, called FATHOM. It will also be the first American liner to stop in Cuba again. But the success was not there, it returned to the P&O Cruises fleet in June 2017 before its sale at the beginning of 2018 to Azamara for which it became in March 2018 the AZAMARA PURSUIT. © APPM Association
