Dodi Princess was a cruise boat on Lake Volta in South Ghana.[1] It was owned by the Volta River Authority and under the management of Volta Hotels. It was the only cruise ship in Ghana.[2] It was built as a cargo ship and later converted into a passenger ship in 1991.[3]
The ship was replaced with the 176-passenger restaurant ship, Dodi Princess II, built in Akosombo, Ghana by Onur Makina of Istanbul, Turkey.
