MS Isabelle X is a cruiseferry[5] owned and operated till July 2023 by the Estonia-based Tallink and in January 2024 sold to Notamare Shipping, the Cyprus-based subsidiary of Bridgemans. She was built in 1989 by Brodosplit in Split, Croatia, back then Yugoslavia, for SF Line—one of the partners in the Viking Line consortium—as Isabella. The ship served as refugee housing in Tallinn until 1 July 2023.

Isabelle has three sister ships, one in the Viking Line fleet, Gabriella, one in the Corsica Ferries fleet, Mega Victoria and one operated by DFDS Seaways, Crown Seaways.
