Two ships of Classic International Cruises, the Lisbon based company, have been arrested in the port of Marseille in France on the order of a local court, a Portuguese media report said.

The Princess Danae and Athena, both of about 17,000 gross tons, have been stopped in the Mediterranean port since Saturday due to alleged unpaid fuel bills and wages, a report on presstur.com says.

In addition to these two ships, Classic International Cruises has operated the 17,000 gross ton Princess Daphne and Arion, which is of about 6,000 gross tons. All vessels were built from the 1940s to the 1960s.
