MS Kydon Palace

MS Kydon Palace is a Greek Ro-Pax high speed ferry, built in 2001 at the Sestri Ponente shipyards by Fincantieri as Festos Palace for Minoan Lines' overnight services between Piraeus and Crete.

Festos Palace was designed as a Ro-pax night ferry for service between Piraeus and Heraklion, Crete, though also used for daytime voyages.

Together with her sistership Knossos Palace, she is very similar to the Janas-class, built by Fincantieri for Tirrenia at the same time.

The vessel had an original capacity for 1,000 cars, with a usable lane length of 1,850 m (6,070 ft) and could carry 760 berthed and 1240 deck passengers.

[2] She is powered by four Wärtsilä 16V46C diesel engines, together rated at 67,200 kW (90,100 hp), giving the ship a service speed of 29.5 kn (54.6 km/h; 33.9 mph).
