Also
built at Wartsila, started service in 1966 connecting
Helsinki, Nynashamn, Karlskrona,
Copenhagen, Travemunde, Slite
for Finnlines cruising in summer periods. Was sold in
1969 to Rederi Ab Svea, renamed “Sveaborg” and put
between Helsingborg, Copenhagen e Travemunde.
In 1977 was chartered by DA-NO Linjen for the link Aarhus - Oslo but the company had financial problems, so
the service was took over by Rederi Ab Svea. In 1978 the ship was
purchased by Stena Line, which added to ship side sponsons and an accomodation
block located at bow, work carried by Werft Redengsburg at Nobiskrug. In 1982
was bought by Dane Sea Line, which cut away the accommodation block added by Stena Line and put her on the classic line Piraeus - Patmos - Leros - Kalymnos - Kos - Rhodes,
diverting sometimes to Astypalea, Nissiros,
Tilos, Symi and Kastelorizo. In October 2000 was arrested in Piraeus by the
ministry before of a departure to Astypalea, Kos and Rhodes with a breakdown to an engine. Another ship
which has no more future in Greek domestic services. At the end of 2001 was
sold to Farley Shipping, a Greek company controlled by Arab investors, and
renamed “Noura I”; soon employed on the unlucky link
Suez – Jeddah, was sometimes used also between Ukraine and Egypt until her sale
for scrap of December 2003.
