The flagship of Marine Atlantic's Newfoundland and Labrador fleet, MV Caribou perpetuates the memory of the original SS Caribou, a vessel that served with distinction in the Cabot Strait and became a casualty of war in 1942. Newfoundland and Labrador's rich history and culture are further reflected in the names of public areas on board ship. MV Caribou is a powerful ferry of the highest commercial ice class. The vessel, which entered service in 1986 as Canada's largest ferry, is designed to provide year-round service.
