Established in the 1970s as a subsidiary company of Louis Plc and quoted on the cyprus Stock Exchange , Louis Cruise Lines is one of the most recognised and respected cyprus-based shipping companies. It operates cruises from cyprus, France and Italy - as well as Greece under the name Louis Hellenic Cruise Lines. It also charters several ships to Thomson Cruises and Transocean Tours. The fleet includes the SS The Emerald - the last ocean liner built in the United States still in service.

With a fleet of 14 cruise ships, the company serves destinations across the Mediterranean and North Africa, the Holy Land, Syria and the Black Sea.

The company’s home base of cyprus is at a ‘nautical crossroads’ strategically located in the Eastern Mediterranean. Within a few hundred kilometers of the island, Europe meets North Africa and the Middle East. cyprus undoubtedly has a great deal to offer the discerning traveller – everything from sun soaked beaches and a lively entertainment and nightlife scene - to the present day archaeological sites representing the legacy of the island’s ancient cultures and civilisations. However, cyprus is also an ideal and convenient departure point for taking a leisurely mini-cruise to explore the mythical destination of Egypt to see the Pyramids, the Sphinx and perhaps take a trip on the River Nile. Syria and The Holy Land are also close by, awaiting pilgrim and explorer alike!

Spoilt for choice, Louis Cruise Lines also offers a variety cruises from cyprus to the Greek Islands – where you can experience cosmopolitan and picturesque islands such as Mykonos and Santorini.
