History
[edit]Built in 1995 by Fincantieri as the seventh and final Viamare-class vessel, Puglia entered service with Tirrenia. Until 2018 she sailed on the Mediterranean, before being sold to Unity Line, and undergoing a rebuilt that would increase her passenger capacity from 50 to 160. Subsequently, she entered service with Unity Line on the Świnoujście - Trelleborg route. As of 2026, she sails with Unity Line's successor POLSCA between Gdańsk and Karlshamn.[2]
