Remember this vessel very well and even took out a 4 hour flight from Melbourne to Cairns at the time (1987) whilst the vessel was handed over to Royal Tropic Cruise Line.
Also saw the vessel in Auckland few years prior to this when she was named GULF EXPLORER
Some more details to follow later.
Meanwhile hereby some photos and I guess I may also use the photo ex Rick since he has not got the source.
