An old favourite, I first saw her in August 1968 at Hull when Ahlmark still ran their service out of Alexandra Dock. Sold by them in 1973 and since 1989 sailing as SAN REMO, a bonus when we passed her on the Kiel Canal on 07/05/2011, not far from her builders at Rendsburg in 1965, now 57 years old!

Built 65, same year as me but I'm only 47?? (I think)

OK then but the ship does look more classy than you!
