Euroway
Euroway was a Swedish ferry company that operated cruise ferries between Sweden and Germany from 1992 till 1994.
History.
Founded by the Norwegian businessman, Elling Ellingsen, owner of Sea-Link Shipping AB, with the objective to set up cruiseferry connections between the cities of Malmö in Sweden and Lübeck in Germany. Euroway's business concept was to provide a cruise ship-style experience.
Euroway planned to open their service in mid-1991, however the first of two large car and passenger ferries ordered from the Brodogradiliste
sold it to the shipping company DFDS. Euroway speculated in chartering the Viking Line ship M/S "Olympia" from Rederi AB Slite, but the deal did not go through.
Due to management problems and the economic situation in Europe, Sea Link AB was by 1993 looking for a partner for Euroway. Silja Line joined Euroway and the company changed its name to "Silja Line Euroway" with Silja's "Silja Festival" being added as a second ship. A major factor in the teamup of Silja and Euroway
