She is in Strintzis fleet since 1998,
linking Ancona and Venice with Corfu, Igoumenitsa and Patras, then in 1999 also
the direct line Patras - Ancona (23 hours), this year only the Venice line. I never
have travelled aboard this ship; however I think she is one of the worst units
that Strintzis ever had in its fleet, like the 1994 version of “Ionian Star”:
no airplane-type Seats, no interesting services on board, except for the Cinema
(an istitution on Strintzis ships). She could be good for a 10-hours trip, no
more!
