Features

Moby Vinci was the first of a series of two sister ships, the other being
car deck, bringing their gross register tonnage to nearly 40,000 GT, and allowing a greater cargo capacity, (nearly 2,000 linear meters, which equals about 140 semi-trailers), or a capacity of 1,085 cars. The ship can carry up to 3,000 passengers and has nine decks:^[1]

Deck 8: infirmary, kennels, solarium

Deck 7: children's area, 648 second class seats, 68 cabins

Deck 6: reception, central bar, bar of the festivals, cinema, restaurant, self-service, shops.

Deck 5: 258 cabins

Deck 4: mobile car deck for 265 cars

Deck 4: car deck for 373 cars or 70 trailers

Deck 3: car deck for 335 cars or 65 trailers

Deck 2: car deck for 60 cars

Deck 1: car deck for 52 cars

Despite the additional deck, and the consequent increase in
kW, allowing a top speed of 29 knots
(53.70 km/h). This performance is fully exploited only for the daytime crossings and in the high season, i.e., when passenger and vehicle traffic justifies the larger fuel consumption; otherwise, the ship keeps a speed between 19 and 23 knots, by using only two of its four engines, in order to save fuel.
