In Salty's Lighthouse, the Duchess became the "Queen Victoria".

- The Duchess is the first Ocean Liner in the Series: appearing in the pilot episode Sunshine. She appeared in 2 separate scenes in the whole of that episode: when the Stars tow her in, and in the Nighttime fireworks celebration following a succesful journey. In appearance she looks a lot like Princess Alice: She's the same type, with modified stacks and vents. She made numerous cameos throuoght the series in the port. In Salty's Lighthouse, the Duchess became the "Queen Victoria". She makes the most cameos of any TUGS liner character. The Duchess seems to be based on the Hamburg-America Line ship SS Imperator, which was given to the Cunard Line after World War One to replace the RMS Lusitania which was torpedoed of the coast of Ireland in 1915, and renamed Berengaria after the 12th Century English queen of the same name. Like the Imperator (Berengaria), she has 3 stacks, a open promenade, and is 919 feet long. When Captain Star says that she is "one of the biggest liners around", he means that she's not the largest liner in the world, a reference to how Imperator was surpassed by her younger sisters Leviathan and Majestic. Her nationality is British.

On The Muppet Show, the Duchess is a minor figure, appearing in the chorus and background of many scenes. She has a single solo line during the "Smile" medley, and is usually accompanied by the baby. During the courtroom scene, she's holding a piglet, the transformed baby; both serve as proxy Muppaphone keys for judge Marvin Suggs.
