The last addition in Superfast Ferries’s fleet is dated autumn 2002; it seems that, due to the bad moment of Attica Enterprises and their economic difficulties, she wouldn’t have any heir for a long time. Since her delivery is linking Ancona, Igoumenitsa and Patras. After regular callings also at Bari on 2004 season, for 2005 is entirely employed at Ancona, always sailing in pair with her sister. I saw a photo of a double-sized swimming pool on the Superfast Ferries’s 2005 brochure: surely it wasn’t aboard one of the four earlier Superfast vessels, and, having seen the 360° virtual tour of Superfast website, I’ll exclude also the HDW pair of sisters; so I think that the “double pool” is on-board this ship; the external photos I’ve seen are both confirming my theory but also excluding it, due to the apparent lacking of space. Does anyone have any photo of this part of the ferry, or knows it?
