Hanjin Palermo To Revive Montreal-Mediterranean Cargo-Passenger Service

For the past couple of years travellers have been unable to book passage between Europe and Canada and have had to travel via US ports. But starting in April space will be available for eight passengers on the NSB vessel Hanjin Palermo.

The Hanjin Palermo will depart Algeciras April 1 and Lisbon April 2 on her first Canadian voyage, which is due to arrive at Montreal on April 10. Returning, she will leave Montreal on April 13 for Algeciras, Valencia, Cagliari, Salerno, Livorno and Genoa, where she arrives May 1, before returning via Fos-sur-Mer, Algeciras and Lisbon to Montreal. Montreal to Genoa is an 18-day voyage, while her May 2 departure from Genoa will see her back in Montreal on May 15, for a crossing time of 13 days. Subject to space being available, the full 35-day round voyage can also be booked as a ten-port Mediterranean and Transatlantic cruise from any of the ports of call.

The 45,625 deadweight ton Hanjin Palermo can accommodate up to eight passengers in an Owners cabin and two double cabins and two single cabins for sole travellers. Fares are €80 per day for the singles, €90 per person per day for the doubles and €95 per person per day for the Owners cabin, while sole occupany of a double is €100 per day and the Owners €105 per day. Port charges are extra at €85 and deviation insurance is €105 for voyages up to 15 days and €160 for longer trips. The vessel is equipped with an indoor pool and fitness room as well as lounge and video/tv room. Meals are taken with the officers.

Note: This is a preliminary announcement as the vessel was fully booked on her previous Transatlantic route to and from New York. Reservations to and from Montreal will only open once existing bookings have been re-accommodated.
