History

"Spirit of Gosport" was built in 2001 to replace "Portsmouth Queen" on ferry duties. However the company also wanted to replace the "Solent Enterprise" (which operated cruise duties). The vessel was hardly used for the first few months and both existing ferries were kept in service. In 2003 it finally replaced the "Solent Enterprise" on cruise duties. This continued until 2005 when a brand new vessel was purchased to replace "Spirit of Gosport" on cruise duties.
