Aries, Taurus, Scorpio and Capricorn can carry up to 1784 passengers with 460 cars at a speed of 40 knots. Measuring 146 metres, their tonnage is 11.347.

These state of the art ferries are characterised by interior designs similar to those of cruise ships.

Comfortable armchairs are employed rather than cabins. The main passenger deck houses the Second Class seating, the upper deck houses First Class, and the top deck accommodates a comfortable lounge bar.
