Silja's Symphony and Serenade pioneered a new kind of street like enclosed promenade deck. Such promenades can also be found aboard Color Fantasy and Color Magic as well as many modern cruise vessels.
Silja Symphony is identicle to her sister apart from some small external differences by which they can be told apart. The outer decks on the Symphony are painted light blue (they are green on the Serenade), the eyes of the seal in Symphony's funnel is blue whereas it's white with a blue outline on the Serenade, and the light box with the ship's name on it is white on the Symphony but blue on the Serenade. |
