Ulysses

From the funnel of the “Moby Corse”, Tweety is probably wondering at the unusual black hull of the 60-meter superyacht “Ulysses”.The same vessel inside the “Darsena Nuova” (New Harbor) just after the launch at the Benetti shipyard in the summer 2010.

Moby Drea

The “Moby Drea” was born in Lübeck in 1975 as “Tor Britannia” and was used for ferry service between Germany, Sweden, Holland and the United Kingdom. Tired of the North Sea, in 2003 the ship gaudily repainted itself, took a fancy name and retired to the warmer waters of the Mediterranean.This 184 meters cruiseferry has four hundred cabins, a pool and a children's play area. It runs the Moby Lines routes Livorno-Olbia or Genova-Porto Torres.

Bugs Bunny

The fast cruiseferry “Moby Aki” in the “Porto Mediceo”. As usual Moby Lines ferries sport funny Looney Tunes liveries. A cruiseferry is a ship that combines the features of a cruise ship with a ferry. Many passengers travel with the ships for the cruise experience, staying only a few hours at the destination port or not leaving the ship at all, while others use the ships as means of transportation. Please note the odd Polish flag waving just in front of Bugs Bunny.

Update: it seems that the Polish flag is waving on the stern of the “Pogoria”, a training ship subject of another post.

Moby Love

A detail of the ferry Moby Love moored in a storm of kisses at the “Porto Mediceo” (port of the Medici). Moby Lines ships have funny liveries usually painted with Looney Tunes characters but in this case the author is the famous cartoonist Mordillo. These ferries serve routes to Olbia (Sardinia) the whole year and to Bastia (Corsica) april to september.
