  Finnlines continues renovations of Ropax vessels

  The name of MS Nordlink changes at the end of January, the company said in its press release. The new name will be MS Finnswan. The vessel moves from Malmö–Travemünde-route to Naantali–Långnäs–Kapellskär-route in May. After that there will be MS Finnswan and MS Finnfellow sailing on Naantali–Långnäs–Kapellskär-route.
  MS Finnswan will go through an authentic facelift before it starts sailing on Naantali–Långnäs–Kapellskär-route. For example the lounge areas will expand and taxfree-shop and restaurant area will be refurbished.
