Livia is a roll-on/roll-off (Ro/Ro) ferry operated by StraitNZ on its Wellington to Picton service across the Cook Strait. It was built in 2008, and originally named Norman Voyager. In 2025, the ship was sold to StraitNZ, where it entered into service in July 2025, filling in for sister Connemara which is heading to Singapore for drydock maintenance, and later replacing Strait Feronia.
