First sailing with new name and new paint
The ferry company Gotlandsbolaget sent the Nordic Pearl' from Copenhagen to Oslo for the first time on Jan 28 with its new colours and its new name. The 36-year-old ferry, which is now painted aqua-green and white, has also undergone an extensive renovation inside during its almost month-long stay at the shipyard in Landskrona. This applies to both cabins and the ferry's common areas. The ferry was purchased by DFDS in 2001 and named 'Pearl of Scandinavia'' and in 2011 'Pearl Seaways'.
