Description

A ship as an advertisement

The set is filed under Promotional, meaning sets made for special occasions or partners rather than for regular sale. Viking Line is a shipping company that runs ferries in northern Europe, and the model picks up its vessels. Such special sets interest collectors because they turn up less often and show how brands and toys worked together. That sets it clearly apart from the usual shelf sets. That is also why it pays to check a complete copy carefully against the parts list and its condition.

White, red and blue

The colours are white, red, blue and black, a mix that suits a ferry: a white superstructure, coloured accents on the hull and dark details. With 176 pieces across 42 types the model stays compact. That gives it a clear shape that is easy to put on a shelf without needing much room. If you usually link ships with huge builds, this is a handy format by comparison. The dark elements set off the windows and hull lines without making the model look cluttered.

Made for display

No minifigures are included, which fits a model meant more as a standing piece. You can place the ferry in a harbour, beside other boats, or as part of a coastal scene. Since figure play is not intended, the thought of a real-life prototype comes first. That makes it a pleasing item for anyone who likes collecting vehicles and presenting them neatly. A clear box or a cabinet keeps the dust off and the white surfaces looking clean.

What is in the box

The parts list on this page shows every element of the set, useful when you want to complete a copy or check its condition. The “What can I build?” tool also shows which other sets your bricks could make. The white and red elements suit ships, lighthouses or harbour buildings of your own, should you not want to keep the ferry in its original form. That way the stock stays useful even if the ship becomes something quite different.
