For a history of the Silja Festival (and some notes on her livery and exterior design), please refer to the previous entry about her. The photographs below show the Silja Festival in the Stockholm archipelago, inbound to Stockholm on 26 August 2007. With less than a year left for her in Silja Line service, she is sailing into the twilight both figuratively and literally. Photographed from onboard Viking Line's Viking Cinderella.

Sailing on Sunshine, to quote one of my favourite musicians. |
