Superfast II ferry Wiki

This vessel belongs to the so-called Courage-Class (Coraggio) - the world's first-ever "cruise ferries." They were specifically designed for both freight transport and high-level passenger services. These ships have a cargo capacity of about 2,620 lane meters, allowing the transportation of up to 600 cars. The first Courage-Class ferries featured 67 cabins and 112 reserved seats, accommodating up to 500 passengers, plus 30 "onboard camping" spaces for an additional 100 passengers. Starting from the 4th unit (Superfast 1), passenger capacity was increased to 1,000 by extending the superstructure. The list of onboard facilities includes a restaurant, self-service cafeteria, piano bar, shops, and gaming rooms.

From this 8-ship series are the cruise ferries Athena Seaways (2006), Rizhao Orient (2007), Tenacia (2007), Superfast 1 (2008), Victoria Seaways (2009), Superfast 2 (2009), Forza (2010), and Regina Seaways (2011). Each vessel is powered by two WARTSILA marine diesel engines (model 12V46B, total power output 24 MW) and is equipped with two controllable pitch propellers.

Superfast 2 was officially delivered on October 2, 2009, and entered service on the Bari-Igoumenitsa-Patras route on October 6.
