New Vessel For French Service
Irish Ferries took delivery of the 1989 – built MS Kronprins Harald from the Norwegian shipping company Color Line in September 2007. The ship was renamed MS Oscar Wilde and is currently in operation between Rosslare Europort–Cherbourg and Roscoff. She entered service in December 2007 on the Dublin–Holyhead route, then the Rosslare–Pembroke Dock route, and finally to her selected route, Rosslare–Cherbourg and Rosslare–Roscoff. Instead of receiving the traditional white hull of Irish Ferries, the ship maintained the blue hull of Color Line.
