MV Corinthian Review
Review of MV Corinthian
MV Corinthian cruise ship is currently owned and operated by GCCL-Grand Circle Cruise Line. The shipowner is Grand Circle Corporation via its subsidiary company Grand Circle Travel USA (Boston MA-headquartered travel agency).
The cruise ship Corinthian is a passenger vessel (IMO number 8708672), 1990-built (in La Spezia Italy) and initially operated by Great Lakes Cruise Company (as Orion 2) and Renaissance Cruises (as Renaissance 4). After Renaissance Cruises (1989-2001) ceased operations (see scrapped ships and defunct lines), the boat was renamed Clelia 2.
On December 27, 2009, while operating under charter by Travel Dynamics International (New York-based cruise travel operator), Clelia II ran aground off Antarctic Peninsula. The accident resulted in starboard propeller damage, lost of the starboard engine and electricity. The fleet mate Corinthian 2 (now Hebridean Sky) assisted and escorted the damaged ship back to Ushuaia (Argentina).
Clelia II was partially disabled by a rogue wave on December 8, 2010, while transiting the Drake Passage. The Navigation bridge was also damaged. The nearby Lindblad ship National Geographic Endeavour assisted the disabled vessel during the accident.
