Title: Norfolkline to commence new service on Zeebrugge -Rosyth route
Post by: Kai R on May 13, 2009, 09:30:52 AM

the new service is supposed to launch on may 18th. The company has already announced the schedules: http://www.norfolkline.co.uk/EN/Ferry_routes/Rosyth_Zeebrugge/

The ship will be the newly built "Scottish Viking". So far, no fotos of the ship are to be found.

Regards,

Kai

As far as I know the ship should have arrived in Zeebrugge by now. She is a sister ship the the LD Lines vessel Norman Voyager.

she looks more like a classic Ro-Ro than a modern cruiseferry. Obviously built for business.

Thx for the link to the 1st pictures of the Scottish Viking. She's quite different to the Superfast IX and X  and Blue Star 2 that used to ply this route but a beauty nonetheless. =)

She is definitely different to what was before...

Looks more like a freight ferry though,
