An informal and casual reunion was held on August 22, 2005, when Mona Lisa, ex Kungsholm, visited Stockholm. 35 former SAL crew members, officers and friends, were overwhelmed by the friendly hospitality of Captain Nick Giannakopoulus, his fellow officers on the bridge, the Hotel Manager and the Cruise Manager on board the Mona Lisa.
