Built at Chantiers de France, Dunkerque and completed in 1983 as the Stena Jutlandica she sailed for Stena Line between Gothenburg and Frederikshavn until 1996 when she was replaced by a new ferry of the same name. She was transferred to Stena Line's UK operation for service between Dover and Calais. Prior to entering service on this route she was refitted to allow vehicles to enter her upper vehicle deck through the bow and stern. During this refit she was renamed Stena Empereur. When P&O European Ferries and Stena Line's Dover-Calais operations merged she kept her Stena name for a short time before being renamed P&OSL Provence in 1998. When P&O bought Stena Line's share of P&O Stena Line in 2002 the P&OSL Provence briefly carried the name PO Provence before being repainted in the new P&O Ferries livery and becoming the Pride of Provence in 2003. In late 2004 she was withdrawn from service and laid up for sale as part of a business review. She was sold to GA Ferries of Greece and became the Alkmini A. Despite undergoing a refit for GA Ferries she never entered service with them but was instead chartered to Kystlink of Norway. She is now named Pride of Telemark. In 2007, she collided with the harbour at Hirtshals. She was repaired and continued her service. {{citation needed|date=June 2010}}
