Neonyx / Seajets fleet remains anchored as Med cruise season draws to an end

Georgios Athanasiou, Global sales director of Neonyx Cruises

Neonyx Cruises party cruise brand has still not revealed plans for 2026 as the summer season passes without any activity.

Neonyx Cruises party cruise brand launched in mid-2024 with the former Costa Magica (renamed Goddess of the Night). Plans for this specific venture and the fate of their other laid-up cruise ships remain unclear.

The former Costa Magica, which was acquired in early 2023, is currently laid up in Astakos as the Goddess of the Night. The Aegean Majesty, the 1996-built ship, was acquired by the ferry operator in 2020. The Sovereign-class ship can carry up to 2,354 guests and is currently anchored at Elefsis Bay.

Seajets acquired eight cruise ships during the pandemic, but currently has four vessels laid up in Greece. The company controls approximately 8,500 cruise berths, with a lineup that includes contemporary and premium vessels. Key ships in the fleet include the former Costa Magica, now named Mykonos Magic, and the ex-Oceana, renamed Queen of the Oceans

The Aegean Majesty, previously known as Veendam, and the former Majesty of the Seas are also part of the laid-up fleet in Greece. Seajets purchased additional vessels during an auction in late 2020, including the Columbus and the Magellan, both of which were later sent to scrapyards.
