DFDS Seaways' Tor Scandinavia on "Wish you were here" 1985

A VHS recording of Wish you were here in 1985 on a mini-cruise to Gothenburg in Sweden on DFDS Seaways' Tor Scandinavia. Built in 1976, Tor Scandinavia later became Princess of Scandinavia after a rebuild in 1991. After 25 years of loyal service with DFDS, she was sold to Moby lines in 2006. She was renamed Moby Otta and now operates out of Italy. Her elegant lines were somewhat spoilt by her new cartoon character livery.

Yes, but in 1985, departures from Newcastle were seasonal.

wow good to see this, i did this trip with an exchange group from the USA in summer 84 or 85, we were going to goteborg and it was apparently cheaper then to fly to london and take the ferry than just to fly there.
