Adriatica SpA di Nav's 1974 Leghorn built ferry EGITTO EXPRESS is here seen departing from Split on 23rd July 2003.

Ex - ESPRESSO CAGLIARI - 80 ESPRESSO EGITTO - 91

Later: 2004 RIVIERA DEL CONERO - 12 AF MICHELA - 15 LAMPEDUSA (Caronte & Tourist Isole Minori, Milazzo)

I am told that, in an unofficial contest, a group of Split shiplovers declared EGITTO EXPRESS 'the ugliest ferry ever' to enter the port of Split! As ESPRESSO EGITTO she was a role model of Italian elegance, very handsome, fine lines...But after a radical rebuilding at La Spezia in 1991 she became a role model of ship's ugliness.
