FUNDY ROSE is a ferry currently owned by the Government of Canada. This vessel has been in service with Bay Ferries since 2015, providing a vital connection between Saint John, New Brunswick, and Digby, Nova Scotia. The FUNDY ROSE took over from the PRINCESS OF ACADIA, continuing the legacy of maritime service in the region.

The history of the MV FUNDY ROSE extends beyond Canadian waters. Originally known as the BLUE STAR ITHAKI, this ship was built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering for Greek shipowner Strintzis Lines. Completed in May 2000, the vessel was operated by Blue Star linesand used for routes from Piraeus, Greece, to the islands of Syros, Tinos, and Mykonos.

In 2014, the ship was sold to the Canadian government and rechristened as the FUNDY ROSE. The name was chosen in tribute to both the Bay of Fundy, where the ship now operates, and Rose Fortune, a woman who escaped slavery and found a new life in Annapolis Royal near Digby in the 1780s.

FUNDY ROSE measures 123.8 metres in length, with a beam of 18.9 metres. It operates using four Wärtsilä NSD 9L32 engines, giving it a service speed of 24 knots. While initially designed to carry approximately 1,500 passengers, the ship has been reconfigured for its Canadian service and can now accommodate 1,317 passengers. With this blend of history and functionality, the FUNDY ROSE is a significant component of the region's maritime infrastructure.
