Correction, she was build for Gotenborg - Travemunde in Germany route. Later Gotenborg - Kiel.

I agree that in this form she was very nice. However, I sailed in her on one of her very first crossing of the North Sea when she was sailing as Venus for Color Line. She was awful and rates as one of the worst ships in which I have ever sailed. Her crew had transferred from Norway Line's Jupiter and all looked very unhappy.

I love this ship in its original form. One of the best looking ferries even in my book.
