Golden Iris
- Thread starter RickyLuca
- Start date
Mano Maritime has been in business since 1945 in the shipping industry and for last several years adding two cruise ships to its inventory entering the med cruise industry. As far the Golden Iris she is a pretty old lady in her own right and acquired by Mano in 2009.
MS Golden Iris is a cruise ship owned an operated by the Israel-based Mano Maritime. She was built 1975 by the Burmeister & Wain shipyard in Copenhagen, Denmark for Cunard Line as MS Cunard Conquest, but her interior fittings were subsequently installed at the Navali Mechaniche Affini in La Spezia, Italy. Following re-delivery from Navali Mechaniche Affini in 1977 the ship was renamed MS Cunard Princess. In 1995, the ship entered service with StarLauro Cruises (later rebranded MSC Cruises), briefly retaining her previous name before being renamed MS Rhapsody. Later during her career with MSC Cruises the ship came to be marketed as MS MSC Rhapsody, but her official registered name remained Rhapsody throughout her MSC career. The ship was sold to Mano Maritime in 2009
And from the sounds of it she will most likely cater to the East Mediterranean market as they is no way she could meet the standards or requirements of the modern global cruise industry much less the demands of the majority of modern day cruisers and cruising families and sure won't be bringing a "NEW" experience, the med has been experiencing her for 25 years.
As far as Triveni Cruise Lines:
TRIVENI CRUISELINES PTE. LTD. The Company is a EXEMPT PRIVATE COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES and it's current status is Live Company.
The company was registered / incorporated on 06 August 2013, 7 years ago with a paid up capital of $2,000
The address of this company registered office is 3791 JALAN BUKIT MERAH #08-12 E-CENTRE at REDHILL SINGAPORE 159471.
The company has 3 officers / owners / shareholders.
The company principal activity is Chartering of ships and boats with crew.
That's the latest news I have.............
Doesn't look like they will be a major industry player anytime soon.
hope that helps

Thank you so much...appreciated, did know all these news about Golden Iris and especially Triveni. Yet something dodgy going on there - I got an insider claiming that Brijesh Tyagi, from India from Triveni claims he is about to purchase the vessel, hired many managers from all over the world incl. UK and EU countries but not revealing the name of the ship - can it be a possible scam?
Sounds like a big payroll for a small return, just guessing
can it be a possible scam? who knows but hard to scam a ship in the water and looks like there is no "sale" yet so as as they say in the opera its not over till the fat lady sings
...thank you, I will certainly keep you updated how it goes.

Any news regarding this ship (MS Golden Iris) ? What is its current sale cost? Thanks!!!
Apparently there is some youtuber in the Phillipines claiming he has investors lined up to buy this old ship, and also trying to get money from his subscribers to "invest" their cash into this dubious venture. All in the middle of the Covid pandemic. Mind you, the promotors of this scheme have none of their own money in the game, so beware.
