KRISTINA REGINA off Lisbon 27-08-2008

The Finnish-flag cruise ship KRISTINA REGINA of 1960 motoring along the Lisbon waterfrot on her way to the Santa Apolónia Cruise Terminal on 27 August 2008.
Built as a Baltic steam passenger ferry and converted into a motorship later, the KRISTINA REGINA is a very attractive looking ship with very traditional Swedish design: the twin funnels, the forward one being a dummy and the nice hull, slightly looking like the VENUS of 1931 of the famous Bergen Line or the Swedish American Line passenger liners...

Muito bonito o KRISTINA REGINA,a fazer lembrar como diz o amigo Luis os navios da S.A.L.,Pena eh que as modernizes de hoje tenham" plantado" aquela linda antena na popa deste pequeno classico,que continua mesmo assim a ser um dos poucos navios de turismo da era antiga mas com duas chamines e dois mastros,muito bonito...
