The Goddess of the Night recently sailed to a different Greek port after spending several months docked in Elefsis.

Formerly operated by Costa Cruises as the Costa Magica, the 2004-built ship was acquired by Greece-based ferry operator Seajets in early 2023.

Leaving Elefsis for the first time since July 2024, the ship docked in Astakos along with another Seajets-owned cruise ship, the Queen of the Oceans.

After remaining in a layup status for a year, the Goddess of the Night underwent a refurbishment last yar to become the first vessel in the fleet of Seajets’ new cruise brand, Neonyx Cruises.

Offering a unique product that focuses on nightlife, music, and parties, the company was initially scheduled to launch service in the Greek Islands and Turkey for the summer of 2024.

With plans for the startup postponed to 2025, the vessel entered a layup once again last year, remaining docked in Elefsis.

Neonyx said at the time that unforeseen delays in the ship’s refurbishment led to the year-long service delay.

While a spokesperson told Cruise Industry News last year that the company was planning to welcome its first guests ahead of the summer of 2025, plans are currently unclear.

Built by the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, the Goddess of the Night is part of Carnival Corporation’s Destiny class.

As a sister to the 2003-built Costa Fortuna, the 2,700-guest ship spent over 15 years sailing for Costa Cruises before being sold to Seajets.

In addition to the Goddess of the Night, the Greek shipowner bought seven other cruise ships since mid-2020.

While three vessels were resold to other operators or shipbreaking yards, four are still owned by the company: the former Oceana, the former Majesty of the Seas, the former Costa Magica and the former Veendam.

After being renamed by Seajets, the four ships remained docked at various locations in Greece.
