The M/V Quiberon was a ferry operated by Brittany Ferries between 1982 and 2002. She now operates on the Mediterranean for MedMar under the name Guilla D'Abundo.

Quiberon also operated on the Portsmouth - St Malo route during the winter for a number of years towards the end of her career with the company. During her time with Brittany Ferries she visited all of the ports served by the company though her visits to Poole and Cherbourg were due to weather diversions.
