VIKING at Alexandra Dock, Liverpool on June 27, 2024 whilst being prepared for her summer 2009 charter to Atlantico Line. An opening has now been cut in the port side of the vessel to allow the fitting of a side door.  Just as everyone probably thought the LADY OF MANN was the final Steam Packet side loader - not only is VIKING being converted to a side loading configuration she is also heading off in the wake of the LADY on a Summer vacation to the Azores!

The Atlantico Line web site has been recently updated it shows an old Sea Containers SUPERSEACAT promotional video. [click here]
