SunStone Ships has confirmed a deal to sell one of the older expedition cruiseships in its fleet to French river cruise specialist CroisiEurope

TradeWinds reported in late April that CroisiEurope would branch into deep-sea expedition cruising and eyeing up the 5,200-gt Silver Discoverer (built 1989), although at the time it was unclear whether the company was planning to charter the ship or buying it outright.
