Black Prince

Black Prince, 11,500 tons,  was built for Fred Olsen Lines in 1966 and was last refurbished in 1995. 

The ship was originally designed as:

-  a joint passenger and cargo vessel to the Canary Islands, in the winter.

-  a passenger vehicle ferry between England and Norway, in the summer.

She was converted to a total passenger vessel in 1986 and now has 275 cabins.
