La Suprema and La Superba


It was reported that the two GNV's flaghips, namely La Superba and La Suprema were both sold to Vinashin; a vietnamian shipowners that already owns the former Cartour.
According to GNV, it was a need to sell these two ships due to financial difficulties(In my opinion due to the size of the ship hard to fill during the winter season, and this way totally unprofitable).

It is not very clear about their future use. Rumours said they will sail on Hon Gai, Chan May and Sai Gon. La Superba and La suprema keep sailing on GNV's line until the end of the high season 2008, after that, they will be prepared to leave Europe.
This sale was totally unexpected, I would have thought that GNV wanted to give away some ships like the very ageing Majestic or even the Splendid.

Big loss for the med as it was said on ferries of southern europe
