Welcome to Part Three of this special feature, and this page deals mostly with the Grimaldi Siosa Lines liner and cruise ship the Irpinia seen after her first transformation in 1955 with her two funnels, as well after she was extensively rebuilt, becoming a single funnelled ship and re-engined with Fiat Diesel motors as well as having her interiors completely rearranged ending with an amazing 14 public venues.

I am delighted to present brochures and Deck Plans of both her guises below.
