BELLY UP: A company that organised cruises on the luxury liner 'Athena' has gone bust.
A COMPANY that booked the ship Athena for a series of Australian cruises has gone into voluntary administration, casting doubt on the travel plans of thousands of people.
Western Australia's Department of Consumer Protection advised today that Sydney-based Classic International Cruises Pty Ltd had gone belly-up.
The department believes several thousand people around Australia may have booked on 20 Athena cruises departing from domestic ports up until April next year.
The Athena was due to depart Marseilles in France on November 12 on a cruise bound for Fremantle, but is currently being held by authorities because of a financial dispute.
More than 500 passengers were booked on the 12-night cruise, departing December 18, which was bound for Bali and Broome.
Commissioner for Consumer Protection Anne Driscoll said the administrator had advised that efforts were underway to find a replacement ship with the intention of continuing the cruise schedule.
Ms Driscoll advised affected passengers to contact the administrator to register their details, as well as their travel agent, who would be regularly updated by the administrator on alternative arrangements.
"In the event that the cruises are cancelled, Consumer Protection believes a number of remedies will be available, including refunds through the Travel Compensation Fund and possible credit card chargebacks,'' she said.
