Despite some of the rooms being completely worn-out and in need of a desperate refurbishment and make over, "IKARUS PALACE" is one of the most elegantly decorated cruise ferries I have seen in years. The layout of the ship provides easy access to the outside decks, she was designed like a proper cruise ship not like a shopping centre, there's family rooms, social rooms but also, rooms where you can get away from it all, read a book or share a drink with friends and family without other passengers running you over. If I was on the shipping business, this ship would be a candidate to restart an old service from the early seventies, Southampton/Lisbon/Tangier, remember the EAGLE from P&O Southern Ferries ? About time now for old links to be renewed. Photos 8.9.2012
