The 'Golden Horizon', which was laid up in Split since 2022 has been sold to a Swiss company. The sailing cruise ship, formerly named 'Flying Clipper', was originally put up for sale in 2022 with an asking price of £100 million (then US$120 million) and was reportedly sold for £110 million (US$130 million). The largest square-rigged cruise ship in the world is a replica of the famed sailing ship 'France II', which was built in 1913. ITwas originally ordered by Swedish cruise operator Star Clippers in 2014, but was never able to enter service with the company due to a legal dispute with Brodosplit. The ship, while still named 'Flying Clipper', was completed by Brodosplit in the summer of 2019. However, Brodosplit cancelled the sale of the vessel in August 2019 due to Star Clippers' "failure to meet contractual obligations." The shipyard had cited the buyer's delay in securing some key vessel components and the corresponding technical documentation and its having, "unjustifiably activated bank funding, that included a €12 million (then US$14 million) state guarantee." These actions resulted in the postponement of delivery by almost two years. The 'Flying Clipper' was sold to the UK-based Tradewind Voyages, but the latter was also unable to operate the ship, as it had been seized by UK authorities due to the then-ongoing legal dispute between Star Clippers and Brodosplit.
