[June Pelo Senior Contributor Find all posts View Profile Close June Pelo]

Norden newspaper has a picture of the world's largest private yacht which was scheduled to visit Jakobstad. It is named The World and is a floating condo, owned by passengers from about 40 countries. The largest luxury suite has room for 12 people. The minimum rate is $1,200 a night. Many people live onboard permanently. The ship was built in 2002 by Fosen Mek. Verksteder A/S in Rissa, Norway. According to the photo, it looks like one of those giant cruise ships with 6-8 decks.

Hej!
Ett kryssningsfartyg är på ingång (10 Juli) till Örnsköldsvik. Fartygets namn Silver Shadow ... kan det vara samma som skall in till Vasa?
Skall försöka infoga en bild så småningom.
