Princess Selandia

Princess Selandia was a Danish train ferry which had a long career on the Great Belt and the Baltic Sea, after which she became a restaurant and nightclub ship, at one time moored in Barrow-in-Furness, England.

Built for DSB, the Danish State Railway, she began service as Dronning Ingrid (Queen Ingred) on the Korsør – Nyborg route in April 1951.

In August 1979 she was renamed Sjælland, although portraits of the Danish royal family remained in the state cabin on board.

[1] In 1988 she became a museum and restaurant ship and was sold to English interests in April 2002, being moved to Tilbury, England and renamed Selandia.

Following purchase by Rick Lucas in June 2004, she was sailed from Tilbury to Barrow-in-Furness for a £2 million, nine-month refurbishment and renamed Princess Selandia.
