  • La Lazio era una nave passeggeri appartenente alla Classe Regione, consegnata con questo nome alla Tirrenia di Navigazione nel 1953. Convertita nel 1967 in traghetto ro-ro, rimase in servizio per la Tirrenia fino al 1978, quando fu posta in disarmo. Venduta ad armatori greci, nei decenni seguenti passò di mano diverse volte, prestando servizio principalmente nel Mediterraneo orientale. Nel 1996, mentre era in servizio nel Mar Nero con il nome di Avrasya, fu sequestrata da dei terroristi ceceni, venendo liberata senza spargimenti di sangue tre giorni più tardi; l'anno seguente fu demolita in Turchia.
