Since the introduction of the first Nils Holgersson in 1962, German ferry operator TT-Line has been both an innovative and reliable player in the highly competitive southern Baltic ferry market.
Their core Travemünde – Trelleborg route has seen no less than seven different generations of ferries so far, among them the well-known cruise ferries Peter Pan and Nils Holgersson from 1986/87, the ecologically friendly “Green Ships” Robin Hood and Nils Dacke of 1995 and the latest generation RoPax ferries Nils Holgersson and Peter Pan built in China in 2022/23.
In recent years, the company has diverted from its home business area between Germany and Sweden to routes farther east linking Swedish ports with both Poland and Lithuania. Apart from that, TT-Line is also known for its English Channel affiliate Olau Line which lasted from 1978 until 1994.
In 2022 TT-Line celebrated its 60th anniversary. This book tries to capture in words and pictures the fascinating history of TT-Line, their routes and their ships. 128 pages.
