Greek shipowner Marios Iliopoulos' expansion into the cruise sector through his ferry company Seajets is continuing with the purchase of two more cruiseships at auction.

Seajets bought the 46,052-gt Magellan (built 1985) and 63,786-gt Columbus (built 1989), but did not disclose the prices.

The pair were formerly owned by UK-based Cruise & Maritime Voyages (CMV), which collapsed into administration in July.
