History
21,939 gross ton, belonging to B.C. Ferries. Along with the other Spirit-class vessel, it is the largest in the B.C. Ferries fleet. This ship was designed by a Danish naval architect and assembled from modules built in several shipyards. They inaugurated a new standard of passenger amenities and interior style in the B.C. Ferries fleet that has been matched in subsequent retrofits to older ferries and in new construction vessels built in Germany and Poland.
