MV Clio, (formerly Le Levant and Tere Moana), is a cruise ship owned and operated by Grand Circle Cruise line. The ship was built at the Alstom Leroux shipyard in St. Malo, France in 1998.
History
The ship was originally built in 1998. Its initial operations were likely focused on luxury cruises, given Compagnie du Ponant's reputation for offering high-end cruise experiences primarily around the French territories and beyond. She operated with Compagnie du Ponant as Le Levant until December 2012 when she was refurbished and transferred to Paul Gauguin Cruises, operating under the name Tere Moana. She now specialises in European, Caribbean, and Latin American cruises.{{cite web|title=Tere Moana Cruise Ship Cruises and Description|url=http://www.choosingcruising.co.uk/cruiseweb/ShipDetailsQuery_2.asp?nShip=Tere+Moana|publisher=Choosing Cruising|accessdate=1 December 2013}}
The name Tere Moana translates into Ocean Traveller in Tahitian.{{cite web|title=m/v Tere Moana|url=http://www.pgcruises.com/ship/mv-tere-moana|publisher=Paul Gaugiun Cruises|accessdate=30 November 2013}}
In August 2015, Paul Gauguin Cruises sold the Tere Moana to Grand Circle Cruises. The ship was renamed Clio and began sailing for Grand Circle Cruises, under the flag of Malta in July 2016.
