Passengers877
Vehicles180 cars
Service speed38 kn

A Baltic fast ferry transplanted to the Aegean — waterjet-driven and genuinely quick, it reaches deep into the Cyclades from Rafina in a fraction of the time a conventional ferry takes, at the usual high-speed tradeoff of a more clinical, less breezy ride.

Previously sailed as Gotlandia II.
