MV Madeleine II is a cruiseferry operated by the Canadian company Coopérative de Transport Maritime et Aérien (CTMA). It was previously operated by the Spanish company Trasmediterránea as the MV Villa de Teror.
Originally ordered by the Finnish ferry company Viking Line for the Mariehamn–Kapellskär route under the project name Viking ADCC (All-seasons Day Cruising and Commuting), the ship was built by the Spanish shipyard Astilleros de Sevilla and was originally planned for delivery in 2009. Viking ADCC would have been the first purpose-built ferry to serve that route. However, Viking Line cancelled the order on 8 February 2010, due to the shipyard's inability to complete the ship on time.
The ship eventually entered service with Trasmediterránea as Villa de Teror in 2019, after multiple delays. In 2020, it was announced that the Government of Canada would purchase Villa de Teror, where it would be used on CTMA's services to the Magdalen Islands of Quebec from 2021.
