| Here you can clearly see how the shade of blue used in the rest of the ship does not match the Silja Line text on the hull. Apparently they did not repaint anything else to match - or they used a different hue for the text by mistake. |

| Rederi AB Slite - the company who originally ordered this ship - had a very neat common exterior styling during the late 80s and early 90s with the Athena (now Pearl Seaways), Kalypso (now Star Pisces) and Europa. The Europa is bulkier than the previous pair, but has a similar profile that builds up to the funnel. Of course, the older ships did not have that brilliant two-deck high window on the side. |
