MS Stena Europe
MS Stena Europe is a ferry owned by Stena Line which operated on its Fishguard—Rosslare route until withdrawn from that service in July 2023. Early career MS Stena Europe was built in 1981 by the Götaverken shipyard in Gothenburg, Sweden as MS Kronprinsessan Victoria for Sessan Line. During the same year Sessan Line passed into the ownership of Stena Line. Kronprisessan Victoria was used as a day ferry on the Gothenburg - Frederikshavn route until March 1982 when the vessel was converted to a night ferry for the Gothenburg - Kiel route. This involved building a large numbers of additional cabins onto the upper vehicle deck to make her suitable as an overnight ship. She was a sister vessel to MS Prinsessan Birgitta, later known as MS Normandy. In 1988, MS Kronprinsessan Victoria was sent for rebuilding to make her more suitable for use on the Oslo - Fredrikshavn route, this involved building more cabins which saw an accommodation block added on the top deck. MS Kronprisessan Victoria was renamed MS Stena Saga prior to entering service on the Oslo - Fredrikshavn route. The vessel was transferred to the Hook of Holland - Harwich route in 1994. MS Stena Saga
