Stena Line fleet

Stena Line operates two types of ferries: high-speed ferries (Fastcraft) and conventional ferries (Superferry).

The Fastcraft, which operates under the Stena HSS name, is the flagship vessel of the fleet. There are only three in the world, all operating under the Stena Line banner in the UK: Stena HSS Discovery, Stena HSS Voyager and Stena HSS Lynx. These vessels were built in 1996 in Finland and use jet propulsion for speeds up to 40 knots.

With a length of 127 metres and gross tonnage of almost 20,000 tonnes, Stena HSS is the largest fast ferry in the world. It can accommodate 1,500 passengers, 375 cars and 50 trucks. Onboard facilities include: cinema, three bars, two restaurants and a Burger King outlet, coffee shop, spacious lounges, gift shop, video arcade, bureau de change and a children's play area.

There are currently five Superferries in Stena Line's fleet: The Stena Europe, Stena Caledonia, Stena Adventurer, Stena Hollandica and Stena Brittanica.
