Shippax Award 2011
Outstanding Ferry Concept
STENA HOLLANDICAFor creating “a home away from home” feeling onboard, by combining several side lounges into a living-room-like area, a design that is quaintessentially Scandinavian. Think about the egg-and-ant chair by Dane Arne Jacobsen, and those colourful, obligatory Dala horses. STENA HOLLANDICA, the largest ferry in the world!

Yard: J.J.Sietas
Design: Atelier 522
