M/V Pride of Dover is a cross-channel ferry built in 1987 for Townsend Thoresen. Pride of Dover was the last new ship to appear in service with the famous Townsend Thoresen orange hull though she was delivered with the P&O house flag painted on her funnel which was changed from the 'TT' logo during construction. Townsend Thoresen was renamed P&O European Ferries late in 1987 and Pride of Dover was swiftly repainted in the new company colours. The industry generally regards Pride Of Dover and her sister Pride Of Calias as the most succesful ferries ever built for English channel service. The ships boast superb handling characteristics and excellent seakeeping abilities. Between 1998 and 2002 she was under the control of P&O Stena Line and carried the name P&OSL Dover from 1999 until she was repainted into new P&O Ferries livery when her name returned to Pride of Dover.

Pride of Dover primarily operates the Dover–Calais route but on a number of occasions has made crossings between Dover and Zeebrugge as a result of industrial action in France.
