MS Island Escape

The 40,171 tonne Thomson Cruises 'MS Island Escape' cruise ship departing the Italian port of Civitavecchia on September 13th 2014.

 

The MS Island Escape was built in 1982 as the cruise ferry MS Scandinavia. At the time of construction the Scandinavia was the largest cruise ferry ever built.

 

Note the Radome on the top left of the ship. In a past life I used to manufacture some of the innards of similar looking Marconi Marine Radomes but that's another story.. ;-)
