Be interesting thought to see what colour the Mersey Viking emerges in. TOR DUBLINIA just got everything blacked out.

TOR LAGANIA should be arriving in Belfast in an hour or two...cant decide if i should go and get a few shots of her seeing as i've discovered my pc has a card reader!  :doh:

What is wrong with Pride of Dover/Calais? These new names are really really boring in my opinion. Seems like they had a board meeting and chose the first names they came up with :thumbdown:

Good thing they didn't let me pick them. Then they would have ended up being called Bob and Dave!

sorry, my bad, looks like there gona be renamed yet again, i dont see as to why they just call them Pride of Dover(2) and Pride of Calais(2) like they have done in the past with other ships and keeping their "Pride of" prefix.

i agree with you there ferryman, if they say its the start of a new generation of superferries like there successers were, then that would be a good change of name. Maybe the Caterbury,Kent,Burgundy and the Seaways replacements would start their names with "Spirit of........."
