Some chat now that the OW will be replacing the Kriti 1 which is on a one year charter to GNV (from SNAV) at a cost of €20k per day.

Kriti I is chartered from ANEK. I'd find that a surprising switch TBH - certainly the Civitavecchia-Termini route probably needs the Kriti's rather more substantial freight capacity more whereas the OW is better suited to a tourist route.

OW has arrived in Genoa. She is berthed alongside Le Rif (Stena Galloway) and there are a number of shipyards on the quayside.

Interesting to see how they transform her.

[Steven]

Oscar Wilde is currently undergoing repainting.  She will be renamed GNV Allegra before entering service on the 25th between Genoa and Olbia.  Some pics on NIFS for those interested.

I have trawled around the internet looking for Pictures of  the Now named GNV Allegra (ex Oscar wilde) and have found an image of her here https://www.olbianova.it/notizie/trasporti-marittimi-attiva-la-nuova-olbia-genova-della-grandi-navi-veloci/.
I must say the ship looks better in white however whoever designed the Logo ?? well it speaks for itself,I leave it for everyone to decide themselves.
