EUROSTAR ROMA in the Mediterranean

Five years ago while cruising in the Mediterranean Sea, I was able to photograph the Italian cruise ferry EUROSTAR ROMA in Civitavecchia (top image) on 27 April 2006 and in Barcelona (lower two photos) on 24 April. 
EUROSTAR ROMA (23.663 GT / built 1995 as SUPERFAST I) was operating on the Barcelona - Civitavecchia cruise ferry service. She had been purchased from Greece in February 2004 and was later sold in May 2008 to Unity Line for service in the Baltic as SKANIA.
As SUPERFAST I she was Pericles Panagopoulos first fast cruise ferry. This Greek entrepreneur had sold Royal Cruise Line to the Kloster Group and mooved into the cruise ferry business.

Interesting to note, this is the first time I´ve seen the picture of EUROSTAR ROMA that SEAFRANCE has adopted the same funnel design for the SEAFRANCE MOLIERE, this ship is more recent being built in 2002 as the SUPERFAST X, curious but I still go for the design applied on the CAP FINISTERE, wonderful stuff
