Wisteria (2) (2005- )
 
Prinses Beatrix was built in 1978 by Verolme Scheepswerf Heusden B.V, Heusden, Holland. She entered service for SMZ between Harwich-Hook of Holland in June of that year. She was sold to Brittany Ferries in October 1985, but chartered back to SMZ until the following year, when she was named Duc de Normandie. She entered service between Caen and Portsmouth in June 1986. Unlike most units in the fleet, she rarely ventured onto other Brittany Ferries routes, until moving to Plymouth-Roscoff in July 2002, on delivery of the Mont St Michel. Duc de Normandie was withdrawn from regular Brittany Ferries services in September 2004, and was offered for sale. In November she moved to Gdansk, Poland for lay-up. In 2005 it was announced that she had been bought by TransEuropa Ferries, and renamed Wisteria (2).
