They are the second-largest ships in the BC Ferries fleet, surpassed only by the two larger, single-ended [[S-class ferry|Spirit-class]] ferries. At the time of their building, the three ships were the largest double-ended ferries in the world, however the record has since been surpassed. The three ferries ({{MV|Coastal Renaissance||2}}, {{MV|Coastal Inspiration||2}}, and {{MV|Coastal Celebration||2}}) were ordered by BC Ferries to replace the aging [[V-class ferry|V-class ferries]]. They operate on two of the busiest routes connecting the [[Lower Mainland]] to [[Vancouver Island]]—Tsawwassen↔Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen↔Duke Point. In the past, they have also served the Horseshoe Bay↔Departure Bay route, but have since been reassigned.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=Matassa-Fung |first=Darrian |date=June 2, 2023 |title=BC Ferries reducing service in Horseshoe Bay, adding to Tsawwassen-Nanaimo route |work=[[Global News]] |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/9741612/bc-ferries-horseshoe-bay-nanaimo-route-change-tsawwassen/ |url-status=live |access-date=September 30, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230602162206/https://globalnews.ca/news/9741612/bc-ferries-horseshoe-bay-nanaimo-route-change-tsawwassen/ |archive-date=June 2, 2023}}</ref>
