| Costa Allegra, ex-Annie Johnson was a cruise ship owned by the Italy-based Costa Crociere, one of many subsidiaries owned by Costa's parent company Carnival Corporation. She was built in 1969 by the Wärtsilä Turku Shipyard in Turku, Finland, as a container ship for the Sweden-based Rederi AB Nordstjernan. In 1986 she was sold to Regency Cruises with the intention of being converted into a cruise ship as Regent Moon, but she was laid up instead. In 1988 she was sold to Compania Naviera Panalexandra and renamed Alexandra but continued laid up. In 1990, the ship was acquired by Costa Cruises and rebuilt into a cruise ship at the T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Italy. She entered service as Costa Allegra in 1992. In late 2012, Costa Allegra was beached at Aliaga, Turkey, for scrapping. Her story was a part of a feature on the scrapping operations of Aliaga in the January/February issue of Cruise Travel Magazine. The former 'Love Boat' Pacific Princess , the former Sitmar Cruises ship Fairsky , and the retired aircraft carrier Ark Royal of the Royal Navy were being scrapped nearby. |
