MS Crown Seaways is a cruiseferry operated by DFDS Seaways on a route connecting Copenhagen & Frederikshavn in Denmark to Oslo, Norway. The ship was built in 1994 by Brodosplit in Split, Croatia. She was originally ordered by Euroway and was to be called Frans Kockum but never sailed under that name. The ship was also temporarily renamed Thomas Mann during construction. She first sailed under the name Crown of Scandinavia.
Crown Seaways has three sister ships: Mega Victoria (previously Amorella) in the Corsica Ferries fleet, Gabriella in the Viking Line fleet and Isabelle in the Tallink fleet.
