Cruise Ferries at Porto Torres in Sardignia



Really exciting for me to have the opportunity to see for the first time the "SNAV TOSCANA" above and the "SHARDEN" below, they were both in port recently arrived from Genova. "SNAV TOSCANA" is an old cruise ferry built in 1981 ordered by Swedish operator REDERI AB as the GOTLAND, the ship in the end was delivered to the Finish based company VAASANLAIVAT-VASABATAMA as the "WASA STAR", after 1984 she also sailed for LARVIK LINE and COLOR LINE as the "PETER WESSEL" before she was sold to her current owners, M.S.C. in 2008, she is operated by SNAV/GNV on the Genova to Porto Torres route, she is 30.300 G.T. with capacity for 2200 passengers and 562 cars.



"SHARDEN" was built in 2005, she is 39.798 G.T. and is operated by the Historic TIRRENIA, part of the ITALIAN NAVIGATION CO. She is operated on the Genova to Porto Torres route, very nice experience to be able to photograph these two cruise ferries, photos 14.7.2013
