Astor Cruise Ship

Cruise & Maritime Voyages is delighted to be bringing the 620 passenger capacity ASTOR to Fremantle in November 2013 for her inaugural homeport cruising season in Australia. ASTOR was built in Germany in 1987 by Howaldtswerke – Deutsche Werft GmbH and underwent an A$18.6 million dollar refurbishment in 2010 to cabins and public areas. She has for the past ten years cruised in Europe during the northern summer predominately for the demanding German market. ASTOR has previously visited East Coast Australia during Round World voyages and we are excited to bring a vessel of such high standard to homeport from Fremantle. ASTOR is a stylish fully stabilised and air-conditioned cruise liner with capacity for 620 guests. She has seven passenger decks. Her wide range of public facilities include the very impressive Waldorf Restaurant offering a traditional two sitting fixed time dining option and, as an alternative more informal experience, the stylish Übersee Club Bistro. There are five lounge areas - the theatre style ASTOR Lounge, for some truly sparkling entertainment from the highly acclaimed show-team; the elegant Captain’s Club, a perfect venue for pre-dinner cocktails with the resident pianist; the intimate Hanse Bar which leads onto the stylish Sonnen (Sun) Terrace Bar, with wonderful panoramic ocean views; and the Poolside Bar where the head barman will soon get to know your favourite drink. Other facilities include the ship’s Library, the Card Room, an internet café, a shopping arcade featuring a boutique, jeweller, perfumery and the Wellness Centre, which offers hairdressing and beauty treatments, an indoor swimming pool, ocean view fitness and exercise equipment, and sauna and massage facilities. There is an outdoor swimming pool, two whirlpools and, in keeping with her heritage, a traditional walk around promenade deck. There is a very good selection of comfortable modern cabin accommodation from Standard to De Luxe with 70% of cabins having an ocean view with individually controlled air-conditioning. An outstanding feature of ASTOR is the sports deck where you can enjoy volleyball, half court tennis, table tennis, jogging track, big board chess, golf practice and yoga.
