With a handsome profile and a traditional walk around promenade deck, Athena is a medium to small sized cruise ship by today's standards carrying about 550 passengers and offering a wide selection of well appointed public lounges and comfortable cabin accommodation spanning eight passenger decks serviced by two lifts.

Her enhanced facilities include the impressive Olissipo Restaurant with an alternative buffet dining facility in the Lotus Lounge, a choice of five comfortable lounges and bars including the impressive Calypso Show Lounge, plus a nightclub, cinema, casino, shopping boutique and photo shop, library, card room, fitness and health centre with a sauna and massage, an outdoor swimming pool and a beautiful marbled reception area.

A majority of cabins have a sea view and all 276 passenger cabins have private en-suite facilities with a bath tub and shower, a television for satellite programmes and in house movies, a fridge and mini bar facility, hairdryer and personal safe. There is a selection of twin-bedded and double-bedded cabins, and also more luxurious mini suites and spacious balcony suites with the added benefit of Jacuzzis. A limited number of cabins also have extra upper foldaway pullman berths or sofa bed.

The Classic International Cruises brand has always been associated with great value. Athena will be no exception, offering interesting cruise itineraries throughout the seas of the world.

Highlights of this cruise include:

Perth (Fremantle)
Fremantle is the port for Perth, capital of Western Australia.

Fremantle is a major tourist attraction for travellers from all parts of the world and attracts large numbers of residents and visitors on a daily basis. The city offers a unique blend of a lively multicultural yet relaxed lifestyle and is a 7 day city.

Within easy walking and cycling distance, visitors can experience contemporary circus, fine crafts, original music and theatre, exciting galleries, museums and bookshops. Along with maritime history and extensive architectural conservation, the Arts have become a central part of Fremantle life where visitors can discover the past and present.

Perth is a vibrant and modern city pleasantly sited on the Swan and Canning rivers, with the cerulean Indian Ocean to the west and the ancient Darling Ranges to the east. It claims to be the sunniest state capital in Australia.

From Perth you can access the West Australian Outback,feed the dolphins at Monkey Mia or perhaps swim with the Gentle creatures of the deep - Whale Sharks

Esperance
The picturesque coastal town of Esperance, 725km south-east of Perth, is a place of rugged beauty and stunning beaches. And, while tourism is a major modern industry, Esperance owes much of its prosperity to the good ol' US of A. In the late 50s and 60s, American farmers and investors descended on the area and worked with local agronomists to pioneer new farming methods - including the introduction of trace elements to the soil - to make the surrounding pastures more productive. Because of the low cost of land, farmers flocked from everywhere to get in on the act and Esperance took off again. The town lies on a gorgeous bay dotted with the islands of the Recherche Archipelago. Nearby is Cape Arid National Park, a large (279 832 hectares) and exceptionally scenic park that is home to more than 160 bird species and is thus an important resource for the conservation of birds. It harbours a number of restricted and threatened species, as well as some interesting inland birds. One endangered bird, the western ground parrot, lives in the park, and several rare species, including the Australasian bittern, Carnaby's black-cockatoo and the Cape Barren goose, visit the park on occasions. Western Australian Cape Barren geese breed only in the Recherche Archipelago and occasionally visit nearby parts of the mainland. Total numbers are estimated to be only about 650 birds. The western ground parrot has declined to very low numbers in the park due to extensive wildfires in the 1970s and 1980s.

Albany
Albany is situated on the south coast of Australia's South West tourist region. Albany faces the Southern Ocean and is on the shores of King George Sound and Princess Royal Harbour. Stunning views are obtained from many high vantage points. The city has a great culture and the surrounding hinterland is filled with spectacular attractions. Whales are frequent off the coast.
