Caribbean cruise operator Adriana Shipping has quietly exited the market by selling its only cruiseship for scrapping in Turkey.
The 4,500-gt Adriana (built 1972) departed Trinidad last week for the Turkish shiprecycling centre of Aliaga.
Reportedly fronted by Russian business interests, Adriana Shipping has run the vessel for nine years in the Caribbean and the Black Sea. Operators during this period have been Tropicana Cruises, West Indies Cruises and Adriana Cruises.
