The hull’s green colour of the Tallink Shuttle vessels Star and Superstar characterizes the environmental aspects of the ships. Both vessels consume less fuel, have modern technical solutions and create much smaller waves compared to the smaller high speed crafts.
The pearl of the interior design of the ship is the show-bar located in the fore of the ship going through three floors and having a large glass wall. Passengers can also visit and enjoy themselves in the many restaurants and cafes onboard which include an a la carte restaurant, two buffet-restaurants, a pizza-restaurant, hamburger-café, ice-cream corner for children, children’s play corner, sun-deck bar, a casino and business lounge. In the stern there is a bar going through two floors and having a glass wall. On board M/S Superstar one can also find large shops which sell everything from groceries, alcohol, latest cosmetics, clothes, fashion accessories and much, much more.
The Italian interior designers of the ship are Carlo Ciribi and Alessandro Cestaro. |
