Classic International have bought the sister to their existing ship 'Princess Danae', the 'Ocean Monarch' which is to be renamed 'Princess Daphne'. She has 423 berths and was built in 1955. She will be chartered to German operator Hansa Kreuzfahrten in 2008. This charter had been finalised before the ship was sold and reports seem to confirm that it will still go ahead, however the advertising and itinerary material has the ship's soon to be old name of 'Ocean Monarch'.
