The former CP Princess of Acadia still runs under Canadian federal government ownership (with the same name) between Saint John, New Brunswick and Digby, Nova Scotia carrying people and automobiles, but no longer carrying rail cars. <br /> The 1950's built CP Empress of Canada became Carnival's M.S. Mardi Gras, and her sister ship Empress of Britain became Carnival's M.S. Carnival in 1970. Both ships were subsequently transferred to Carnival Corporation's low-rent budget subsidiary Premier Cruise lines in the 1990's as the first of "The Big Red Ships" and had their hulls painted a bright fire engine red. Shaw Savill got the 3rd sistership, the last CP Empress of Ireland. I do not know her current name or disposition, although it would not surprise me if yet another Carnival Corp. subsidiary wound up with her, as well.
