Laboe will operate as Adler Baltica in the future
The 'Laboe' was handed over to the company Adler Schiffe on Jan 13, 2023, in Kiel and will serve in Swinoujscie in the future. They already had bought the sister ship 'Friedrichsort' in the past, which is operating as 'Adler Mönchgut' now between Rügen and Usedom. On Jan 16 the 'Laboe' left the berth at the railway station quay, headed to the Gebr. Friedrich shipyard in Kiel-Friedrichsort to be prepared for the new role as 'Adler Baltica', which replaces the 'Princess', which will sail in Hamburg in the future.
