I'm looking online for a cruise ship called "Colonel Nathan Flanders".?

Question

I was on this ship in 2002 with my high school music department. We went on a dinner cruise. It docked from the Sky Dome in Toronto, Canada. Did they change the name or something?????

Answer 1

This name no longer exists so it was most likely a Renaissance cruise ship as they went out of business and their fleet was sold and renamed. The ship is not listed as "retired" so it's out there somewhere.

The web sites below may help you by way of photos.

I hope this helps,

Kind regards, Wendy

Answer 2

It absolutely was NOT a Renaissance ship.  That cruise line did not "name" their ships - they gave them numbers!  Their eight almost identical ships were named R-1, R-2, R-3, etc . . . .    In fact, I'm going on one of those ships in February in South America - now the Celebrity Cruise Line owned "Azamara Journey".

I've spent some time trying to find this ship for you.  Based on your narrative, it sounds like it was a  bay cruiser (used for dining and sightseeing - 2 or 3 decks, maybe 300 people - similar to The Spirit Line; Spirit of NY, NJ, PA, etc), not a cruise ship.  These ships are often used by one company for a few years then sold to the next operator who wants to run them.

I hope this information was helpful.
