All Leisure Holidays has had one of its two cruise ships arrested in Singapore just days after the company was put into administration.
The 15,400-gt Voyager (built 1990) was detained by in the early hours of Saturday morning by lawyers from Joseph Tan Jude Benny.
Latest AIS data shows the Bahamas-flagged cruise ship alongside at Sembawang Shipyard in the north of Singapore.
The ship, operating under the Voyages of Discovery brand, was due to leave Malaysia on a 15-day cruise this week.
On Wednesday TradeWinds reported that Eddie Williams, David Dunckley and Matthew Richards of Grant Thornton had been appointed joint administrators of All Leisure Holidays.
The UK-based operator of Swan Hellenic and Voyages of Discovery cruises has one other ship, the 12,900-gt Minerva (built 2004), which was scheduled for a 15-day cruise in the Canary Islands.
All Leisure said the move into administration had been made due to the group’s adverse financial position and that “the business has ceased to trade resulting in the majority of employees being made redundant and the cancellation of all future voyages”.
All Leisure axed 40 of its 280 staff at its head office in February 2016 after admitting that its cruise operations were making losses, and in June it was de-listed from the Alternative Investment Market (AIM).
In recent months the company has been carved up, with its land-based tour operations sold off, and its other cruise brand Hebridean Island Cruises being sold last month to a new company headed up by All Leisure chairman Roger Allard.
