The car capacity is less than the Queen of the North I think. Are they going to modify her to carry more cars??

She's shorter than a C-Class, but most likely the same height, or just a bit lower than a C-Class. She's not as big as we seem to think!

I think they would so they could carry more cars. One thing is for sure that the Sonia is perfect for the Queen Charlottes Service Because there is no bow door so there is 0% Chance of a repeted Estonia Disaster. But if they install a bow door then please make it like the ships made after the Estonia disaster where the doors close and open like regular doors.

BCFS's is now soliciting crew who would be interested in doing the repositioning cruise to beat all repositioning cruises - bringing the Sonia to her new home via the strait of Gibralter and the Panama Canal. Sounds like a worthwile experience.
Perhaps they will finish the journey in darkness lest someone actually see what a true beauty she is.

I think it would be really neat to be on the Super "C"s when they bring them over.
