With mostly families onboard, Miray will provide all meals, activities for children and medical services for those on the ship.

Acquired by Miray in 2020, the Gemini is set to offer a summer itinerary in the Eastern Mediterranean starting on 19 March 2023.

Originally operated by Crown Cruise Line, the Gemini was built in Spain by the Union Navale de Levante shipyard and was considered the largest ship ever constructed in the country at the time. The 20,000-ton vessel has capacity of 1,074 passengers at double occupancy.

The ship also served as floating accommodation during two different Olympic Games: the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona and the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
