In late-April 2021, New Century Cruise Lines (NCCL) retired two of Asia's longest-serving cruise ships - Leisure World (52-years-old) and Amusement World (54-years-old). Commenting on the disposal of both vessels, NCCL said that the Coronavirus/COVID crisis had severely affected the operations of the cruise ships, which had been unable to generate charter revenue while at the same time continued to incur maintenance costs. Coupled with strong scrap steel prices, the company decided to sell the boats to realize its investment in an uncertain market environment.

• Leisure World was sold to NKD Maritime Ltd (India) for USD 3,59 million (~EUR 2,98M/~GBP 2,59M), gaining ~HKD 6,37M (~USD 0,82M) on the sale / based on its book value HKD 21,3M.
• Amusement World was also sold to NKD Maritime Ltd.
• Both ships were sold for scrap metal and departed their anchorage (off Singapore) heading to Alang India.

The New Century Maritime-owned cruise ship Aegean Paradise (1990-built as "Orient Venus") was sold to Victor Restis (Greece) in 2015 for USD 22 million.

I love leisure world too. I love to order their chicken wings at the bar counter inside the casino.

Very nostalgic.
Missed AW.
Like it very much bcos can go out enjoy sea breeze, unlike AP all enclosed in aircon.
Make my money there at the right time when I was jobless.
Food was reasonable good.
Crew were polite and helpful.
Sad to see it go.
Now, with Covid situation, doubt we can board again.
Thank you AW for the wonderful times.

Br HorLee,
Sorry not mean to pour cold water at your AP thread. You can shut down this thread and write more on horse racing.
A matter of fact MV. AP is a sinking ship. Be realistic Albert cannot afford to run a biz without day light.
Ah Wong already said very clearly that this Pandemic Covit-19 may last 4-5 years.
During these 18 months hundred of travel agents/tour guide already ate grass.
Please stop giving false hope AP will be sinking eventually.
AW & LW already gone with the wind and soon AP will set sail to India too.
Simple calculations for AP daily expenses.
30 crews salary
AP Parking
AP fuel etc
Easily $5,000 throw away into the sea. Let's say AP can tong another 3 years to wait for hope! how much??
You think Fatso want to throw his millions away with uncertainty ahead.
Even Batam View Hotel grass already grew quite high.

Brothers & Sisters,
Yes, AP not likely to set sail again this year maybe in year 2023 the earliest if the wave improved.
All businessmen will never run a uncertainty biz.
AP can tahan the Straits of Malacca wave but imposible to stand against Covit-19 Pandemic wave.
