Koningin Emma ('Queen Emma') is a former ferry of the Provincial Steamboat Services in Zeeland (PSD), built in 1933 in Vlissingen. Since 2021, Koningin Emma has been moored where the ship was built in the former shipyard site of Vlissingen. Kloeg Collection operates 10 luxury hotel rooms. PSDnet.nl volunteers organize open days to view the historical side of the ship.

In 1933, Koningin Emma was a modern ferry, equipped with a diesel engine and a dedicated car deck. Why the Emma is special? The ship has played a role in almost all aspects of modern Zeeland history. for example:
