Mr. John Chandris, the London-based chairman of the Chandris Group, took to the podium at the New York's Essex House for an important press conference-"a birth announcement". Ever charming and extremely well-versed in the business of running modern day ocean liners, he is the son of Anthony J. Chandris, one of the genius-like brothers who built up one of the world's best known shipping companies, Greece's Chandris Lines. "The new century will actually begin early, in 1995," he announced enthusiastically. And, indeed, for the Chandris fleet, it did. Through one of it's two cruise divisions, the up-market Celebrity Cruises(the other arm is Fantasy Cruises), the company will then expand and add its largest ship yet, three 70, 000-tonners that have been dubbed "The Century class". The first will enter service in the fall of 1995. At nearly a billion US dollars, Chandris had just signed, together with its new partner in the cruise business, the New York based Overseas Shipping Group, firm contracts with the Meyerwerft shipyards of Germany for at least two 800-foot, 1, 740 passenger luxury ships. The third sistership was considered highly likely at this point. Perhaps to be named Century and Constellation, and with the third name yet to be selected, such a trio would not be amongst the world's largest, but amongst the most innovative and advanced cruise ships. What a high point in the 35-year history of Chandris passenger services! The luncheon that day was served in the appropriately selected Celebrity Grill, a room so reminiscent of the grand era of ocean liners. Chandris is, of course, the perfect subject for a book. They are a fascinating company. I have followed their fortunes and developments almost from the beginning. While an earlier fleet, the Charlton Steam Shipping Company, is included in the history of their passenger ships, it is the Chandris Lines of the late 1950s that Bill Miller remembers. Beginning with the Patris, a Greek-Australian liner service was quite unique in those days. Success followed immediately. More liners, most of them bigger than the Patris, were added and were given some amazing conversions (the transformation of the 760-passenger Lurline into the 1,642 passenger Ellinis, as an example). At the same time, the then separately managed Chandris Cruises took form. While smaller in size, here was yet another fleet of purchases and subsequent conversions.In all, 25 ships are documented in this fleet review, a grand maritime parade of sorts. Some ships occupy special places in mind and memory, I have sailed on Chandris liners on about a dozen occasions. I began in the mid-1960s aboard the venerable Queen Frederica, a 5-day "long weekend" cruise to Bermuda from New York and back, was then priced from $150, or $30 a day! Thereafter, I had other week long cruises out of New York to Bermuda on the brand new Amerikanis, which was certainly one of the most splendidly converted liners of her time; and to Nassau aboard the Ellinis, perhaps best remembered for her very spacious quality. My first Summer trip to Europe in 1971 included 11 days on the little Carina II. It was a terrific adventure: Venice to Dubrovnik, Corfu, Heraklion, Rhodes, Alexandria, Piraeus and a night time passage through the Corinth Canal. A year later, the Regina Magna took us out of Amsterdam to the "Northern Cities" Oslo, Gothenberg, Stockholm, Helsinki, Visby, Copenhagen and London. Soon afterwards, we booked the Regina Magna once again, but this time on a 7 day "Caribbean Capitals" cruise out of Curacao to San Juan, Guadeloupe, Barbados, Grenada and La Guaira. More recent trips have included two sailings in that beloved veteran Britanis, the Meridian to the Caribbean; another visit to the Mediterranean, but onboard the Romanza; and then the gala maiden voyage from New York to Bermuda of the Horizon. What a contrast and, more specifically, what a sense of history between the likes of the stunningly new $200 million Horizon and the likes of the earlier Queen Frederica and Ellinis and Carina II. At the time of writing, and with the forthcoming Century trio, the Chandris-owned cruise fleet includes the Britanis, the Amerikanis, the Meridian and the sisterships Horizon and Zenith. They each wear the distinctive "X", the symbol for the name Chandris, on their blue and white funnels. Together they form one of the world's largest passenger fleet. So many interesting ships! Unquestionably, The current Celebrity Cruises Inc. fleet, which is a joint venture of the Overseas Shipholding Group and Chandris itself, is one of the most fascinating in the annals of passenger shipping. And so, on this exciting occasion, on the ordering of three "mega cruise liners", I offer a heartfelt toast: Congratulations Celebrity Cruises.
