The Leonora Christina is a fast passenger ferry which was built in 2011 by Austal Ships, Perth, Australia. She is currently in active service between Rønne (Bornholm in Denmark) and Ystad in Sweden.

She is BornholmerFærgen which provides services between the Island Bornholm and Sweden. The ferry had technical problems and was taken out of service for more than two weeks. Villum Clausen had to take over during that period.
