is devoted to postcards and photographs of the TT Lines ferry
Nils Holgersson (4).
-
- Nils Holgersson (4) was built in 1986 by
Schichau Seebeckswerft AG, Bremerhaven, for the TT Line Travemünde-Trelleborg
route. Her sisters were the Peter Pan (3), Olau Britannia (2) and Olau Hollandia (2). In 1992 she was sold
to SweFerry Ab, Trelleborg, remaining in TT Line service. In 1993 she
was sold to Brittany
Ferries,
entering service as the Val de Loire after a major rebuilding in La Spezia.
Her primary route is Plymouth-Santander, but she also serves
Plymouth-Roscoff. In winter, the English port for the Santander
service switched to Portsmouth. Val de Loire was sold
to DFDS in 2006, and renamed King of Scandinavia (3).
