Very beautiful, to see the Alandsfärjan again ! Years ago I saw it, when the Gabriella stopped by Mariehamn, in the middle of the night :-D

I´m happy you liked to see these pics. Just bad she´s already unofficially ex- Ålandsfärjan but time goes by and she had to be replaced. First by Rosella and then by the "ADCC" newbuilding.

Yes, that is how the ferry-industry moves on. But, will Viking Line ships ever get real names ? That EXPRS is already one thing, that confused me very much in the beginning, simply because if you spell it German it means something like "Eikspieres" which does not make sense. So the old ships might be gone, but the names of "Athena" and "Diana" should still be not forgotten and it was so much of a distinctive and nice habit, to name the Viking Line ships after Greek gods and goddesses :-) Just my bit of opiniom..

Am thinking so too. Although they seem to organize a competition for the name of the newbuilding, it would be obvious she will sail as Viking ADCC. :-? New Ålandsfärjan would sound good instead.
