Artica Adventure & Cruise Shipping is denying reports circulating in the cruise industry that it has sold its 12,900-gt cruiseship Minerva (built 1996).

Some industry sources suggest Canadian expedition cruise operator G Adventures has bought the ship to relaunch Swan Hellenic, a cruise brand it bought from All Leisure Group’s liquidators earlier this year.

However, both parties firmly dismissed these suggestions when contacted by TradeWinds.
