Henna, the 1986 built cruise ship that started life as Jubilee of Carnival Cruise Lines, has reportedly been sold for scrap. HNA Cruises laid the vessel up in November after ceasing its one ship operation and offered the vessel for sale, with an asking price of $35 million. The ship was of about 47,000 gross tons.
Only one cruise liner of closely the same vintage and size has been sold for scrap so far. This was the Atlantic Star, which was built in 1984 as Fairsky of the now defunct Sitmar Cruises. Unlike other cruise liners built at that time, Fairsky was powered by steam turbines which made it expensive to operate due to high fuel consumption.
