These new Aeros boast an ultra-modern design and innovative features that will significantly upgrade the travel experience for the over 3 million passengers travelling annually on the Saronic routes.

The interior is designed with a focus on comfort, even in rough seas. The spacious passenger accommodation area has large windows, providing excellent view and ample natural light.
