About LEGO Ferries
These are LEGO models of real ferries and cruise ships, made for the shipping lines that sailed them and sold on board and in their shops. Most come from the Nordic routes. The earliest are from 1977, the Finnjet and a Silja Line ferry, and models followed for Viking Line, Stena Line, Color Line and the Danish Kronprins Frederik. Each was built in the colours and logos of the real ship. In 2016 and 2019 the idea moved to cruise ships, with models made for MSC Cruises.
1981 LEGO Sets
1981 strengthened the bridge from DUPLO to System through Fabuland, featuring animal characters and story-led builds. Town expanded urban life with new services and vehicles, Space continued its exploration motif with larger craft and surface equipment, and 12V Trains saw ongoing refinements for more sophisticated layouts.
