MS Amorella
MS Mega Victoria is a cruiseferry owned by Corsica Ferries. She was formerly owned by Viking Line as MS ''Amorella'' and operated on the route Turku–Mariehamn–Stockholm and from 2022 Helsinki-Mariehamn-Stockholm. She was built in 1988 by Brodosplit in Croatia, then Yugoslavia. ''Amorella'' has three sister ships: ''Gabriella'' in the Viking Line fleet, ''Isabelle'' operated by Tallink and ''Crown Seaways'', operated by DFDS Seaways.

The original planned delivery date for ''Amorella'' was in March 1988, but due to delays in construction she was not completed until September, which meant SF Line ...

History The ''Cinderella'' was planned in the later half of the 1980s as the new flagship for SF Line.

SF Line originally planned the ''Cinderella'' to take over the ''Mariella''s place in Helsinki–Stockholm traffic (the ''Mariella'' would have been placed on a new route from Helsinki to Norrköping). The plan was never realised however, and when completed the ''Cinderella'' was placed as a third ship on the Helsinki–Stockholm route, with departures from Helsinki on Monday, Wednesday and Friday (at 19:30 instead of the normal 18:00), with a 25-hour (later 24-hour) cruise f ...

Northern Hemisphere
The Northern Hemisphere is the half of Earth that is north of the Equator. For other planets in the Solar System, north is defined as being in the same celestial hemisphere relative to the invariable plane of the solar system as Earth's North Pole. Owing to Earth's axial tilt of 23.439281°, winter in the Northern Hemisphere lasts from the December solstice (typically December 21 UTC) to the March equinox (typically March 20 UTC), while summer lasts from the June solstice through to the September equinox (typically on 23 September UTC). The dates vary each year due to the difference between the calendar year and the astronomical year. Within the Northern Hemisphere, oceanic currents can change the weather patterns that affect many factors within the north coast. Such events include El Niño–Southern Oscillation. Trade winds blow from east to west just above the equator. The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents, which flow westward due to the Coriolis e ...
