In 1988 Kronprisessan Victoria was renamed MS Stena Saga, and in 1994 she was renamed MS Stena Europe. Between 1997 and 1998 she briefly served with Stena Line's subsidiary Lion Ferry as MS Lion Europe. Following this she reverted to the name Stena Europe. Between 1997 and 2001, she served on Stena Line's Karlskrona - Gdynia route. On 13 March 2002 she entered service between Fishguard and Rosslare after a GBP4.5 million refit. She replaced MS Koningin Beatrix, that was subsequently transferred to the Europe's former Baltic Sea route.
A popular ship, she shared Rosslare for a time with her sister ship, MS Normandy, that was then operating Irish Ferries' services to France. She also shares the Fishguard - Rosslare route with the MS Stena Lynx III during the summer months. |
