A 30-year-old expedition cruiseship with a troubled past has found new buyers after repairs of damage from collision with a Venezuelan warship a year ago.

The 8,400-gt RCGS Resolute (built 1991) is changing hands for about €11m ($13m), a cruise market source familiar with the matter told TradeWinds.

Buying interest is said to have been intense, with seven parties inspecting at a facility on the Greek island of Salamina, where the Finnish-built ship has been moored for several months.
