MV Victoria of Wight is a ship sailing on the Portsmouth to Fishbourne route operated by Wightlink. She entered service on 26 August 2018.[4] Built by the Cemre Shipyard in Yalova for £30 million,[5] she is the newest ship in the fleet and completed Wightlink's £45 million investment in the Portsmouth to Fishbourne route.[4] In addition, upon introduction into service Victoria of Wight became the largest ship in the fleet and the new flagship.[6]
While she is the broadest vessel to make regular crossings to the Isle of Wight, she is not the longest passenger ship, with Red Funnel's Raptor class ferries exceeding Victoria of Wight in length.[7] The Victoria of Wight is notable for its use of a hybrid technology, combining battery power and conventional engines. This results in the ship being both quieter and releasing fewer emissions than the rest of Wightlink's fleet.[4]
