This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Swedish Lloyd ferry Patricia. Sisterships were Saga and Svea.
 
Patricia was built in 1966 for Swedish Lloyd. She was one of three sisterships, the others being Swedish Lloyd's Saga, and Svea Lines' Svea, both of which later served with Minoan Lines. Patricia was used on the Swedish Lloyd Southampton-Bilbao service until 1978, when she was sold to Stena Line. She served under the names Stena Saga, between Oslo-Frederikshavn, after briefly being named Stena Oceanica. In 1988 Stena Saga was transferred to Stena Line subsidiary Lion Ferry for use as Lion Queen between Halmstad-Grenå and Helsingborg-Grenå. In 1990 she was transferred again to Stena Line (Canada) as the Crown Princess Victoria. After passing through the names Crown Princess, Pacific Star and Sun Fiesta, she reverted to Lion Ferry management in 1994 as Lion Queen. She served between Halmstad-Grenå and Karlskrona-Gdynia, until replaced by the Lion Europe in 1997. Since then she has served in the Far East as the Amusement World (after briefly being the Putri Bintang).
