TOP: P&OSL Burgundy
ABOVE: European Seaway
The similarities between the ships forward is quite clear: there is no major external difference in the superstructure forward of the Seaway's lifeaboats. The bow at main vehicle deck level differs, probably having been optimised for the respective 'foreign' ports they used most, although the 'Seaway' now spends most of her time as the Calais route's dedicated freighter.
Moving aft, the additional passenger accomodation really makes its presence known, but the Burgundy's freighter heritage is retained in the open vehicle deck aft. The consistent funnel design also connects the ships, although the lower positioning on the freighters means there is also a mainmast extension to ensure it can fully serve its dual purpose. |
