There are two ferries in BC Ferries' fleet, built between 1964 and 1965, which fit into the Burnaby class. They are the Queen of Burnaby, and the Queen of Nanaimo.

These ferries were stretched by 84 feet (26 m) to increase their car carrying capacity. Both are propelled by controllable pitch propellers. Both were built with Mirrlees National KVSSM, V-16, 4 stroke-cycle, diesel engines, producing 3000 brake horsepower (2,200 kW) at 320 revolutions per minute. The Queen of New Westminster damaged a crankshaft beyond repair and was re-engined with four Wärtsilä engines. At this time, the MV Queen of New Westminster was also lifted, adding a second upper cardeck similar to the other V class vessels. As a result, she is no longer considered a "Burnaby" class vessel.

The Queen of Burnaby (pictured) was temporarily leased to another government crown corporation in the late 90's called Victoria Line. The vessel was renamed to the MV Royal Victorian and operated a once daily summer service between Victoria and Seattle. After the demise of the Victoria Line, the vessel was purchased by Clipper Navigation which operates the Victoria Clipper passenger only service between Victoria and Seattle. The vessel was then renamed and repainted to become the Princess Marguerite III operating on the Victoria to Seattle route. After Clipper Navigation also decided to pull the plug on the route, the vessel was returned to the BC Ferries fleet under its original name, the Queen of Burnaby.^[1]
