St Cecilia
St Cecilia was built in Selby, landlocked in the middle of Yorkshire! Having been launched sideways into the River Ouse she entered service in March 1987 and has remained on the Portsmouth - Fishbourne service ever since.
Onboard passengers can relax in the comfortable lounges on 2 decks, the lower lounge including full Cafe/Bar facilities. There is also a lift beween the car decks and main lounge.
In 2001 she stared in a Gérard Depardieu film, having been repainted in a fictional "Norselink" livery .
