Color Line and the Development of Norwegian International Ferry Service since 1825

Thirty years ago, Color Line emerged as the inheritor of the great Norwegian maritime tradition of providing high-quality international ferry services to the country's nearest overseas neighbours. Here, for the first time, the story of the development of short-sea routes from Norway to the European continent and to the UK since the early steam age is recounted in text and beautiful illustrations, many of which have never previously been published. Color Line's present fleet includes five of the most technically advanced and aesthetically impressive ferries in the world and the design and development of these vessels is given special attention. Thanks to these ships, going to and from Norway by sea has never been more comfortable or enjoyable than in recent years.
