MS Regina Della Pace
MS Regina della Pace is a cruiseferry owned by the Croatia-based ferry operator Blue Line International, and operated on their service between Split and Ancona. She was built in 1979 as MS Turella by Wärtsilä Turku shipyard, Finland for SF Line for use in Viking Line traffic. In 1988 she was sold to Stena Line, becoming MS Stena Nordica. In 1996 she transferred to Lion Ferry and was renamed MS Lion King. In 1998 she was sold to Tallink and renamed MS Fantaasia. As Fantaasia she also sailed under charter to Algérie Ferries, COMANAV and Kystlink during the years 2005–2008. Following the end of her charter to Kystlink in 2008 the latter company bought her, renaming her MS Kongshavn. After Kystlink was declared bankrupt in late 2008 the ship was laid up until sold to her current owners in 2010.

There is not nothing, no, no, never nothing,
Like the clashed edges of two words that kill.””

Until, with a falter,
A flicker soon gone
Their pace starts to alter....”
