MS Silja Europa

MS ''Silja Europa'', owned and operated by Tallink, is one of the largest cruiseferries in the world. It was built at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany for the ferry operator Rederi AB Slite, a part of Viking Line. Main architect was Per Dockson, Sweden.
The ferry was already painted in Viking Line's colors and almost ready to be handed over, when the Swedish krona was devaluated by 10%, which led Slite into economical difficulties. Slite could not pay for the ship so Meyer Werft kept it and soon managed to charter it to Viking Line's rival, Silja Line. It was put on the HelsinkiStockholm route, replacing MS ''Silja Serenade'' which was put to the TurkuMariehamn–Stockholm route, but ''Silja Europa'' and ''Silja Serenade'' had to exchange routes in 1995 as ''Silja Serenade'' had troubles navigating in the Turku archipelago.
A McDonald's restaurant was located onboard ''Silja Europa'' from its maiden trip until 1996 when it was closed down and replaced by Silja Line's own hamburger restaurant.
