Color Line emerged 30 years ago as the inheritor of the great Norwegian maritime tradition of providing high-
quality international ferry services
to the country’s nearest overseas neighbours. This impressive new volume tells, for the first time, the story of the development of short-sea routes from Norway to the European continent and to the UK since the early steam age. It is covered by a detailed text accompanied by high- quality illustrations, many of which have never previously been published.
Color Line’s present fleet includes five of the most technically advanced and aesthetically impressive ferries
in the world, such as Color Fantasy and Color Magic, and the design and development of these vessels is given special attention, with numerous onboard photographs showing
the impressive facilities which are provided. Thanks to these ships, including the new Color Hybrid, going to and from Norway by sea has never been more comfortable or enjoyable than in recent years.
