This is inspired by the real-life ferry M/S Athena operated by Rederi AB Slite [Viking Line] and is not a full 1:1 version so the interior is changed up in some places to make way for more working designs.

History:
Built in 1989 and sold away in 1993 when Rederi AB Slite went in-to bankruptcy.
She is the sister-ship to M/S Kalypso which was scrapped in 2022.
M/S Athena still operates to this day under the name of “Pearl Seaways” and is operated by DFDS Seaways.

Stats:
Speed: 17 knots
Fuel tank: 105 000 liters
Lenght: 71,5m
Beam: 12,25m

Features:
Spacious bridge with single player friendly controls.
Three different restaurants and three bars with a nightclub and a casino.
Sitting Lounge with large windows to see the ocean.
A large tax free for a smooth shopping experience.
Two types of cabins, more spacious ones on deck 7, and smaller cabins with bunk beds on decks 6 and 5
Large car deck with a bow door and two stern ramps for better Ro-Ro experience, car deck has two lanes.

How to start-up the engines?
Go to the bridge and there is a console for the lights and engines behind the main central console, from there switch on all pumps and the engine electricity switches. After that switch the engines on. Now you can control the throttle of the engines from the central console.

Lifeboats are hanging low???
It might be due to your physics detail set to "low" or "medium", for the lifeboats to not hang use "high".
(Nothing I can do)

Performance:
Should be pretty good considering the physics flooder to simplify the physics on spaces I don’t use for the interior.
(After some time it should get better)
