MV GNV Atlas is a Peter Pan-class cruiseferry currently owned and operated by the Italian shipping company SNAV. She was launched on 28 October 1989 by Schichau Seebeckwerft in Bremerhaven, West Germany as Olau Britannia for Olau Line.

Following the closure of Olau Line in 1994, Olau Britannia was chartered to P&O Ferries and renamed Pride of Portsmouth. From 2005 to 2017 she has been operating as SNAV Lazio between Civitavecchia, Palermo and Olbia.
