The ''Jupiter'' is a cruiseferry owned and operated by Vietnamese Jupiter Cruises. The vessel operates cruises between Sihanoukville and the island of Phú Quốc. ==History== The ''Jupiter'' was built at the Dubegion-Normandie shipyard in Nantes in 1974 for FÅA / Silja Line. The vessel entered service between Helsinki and Stockholm in July 1975 as the ''Wellamo''. In 1981 the super ferries ''Silvia Regina'' and ''Finlandia'' entered service on the Helsinki - Stockholm route. The ''Wellamo'' was no longer required and sold to DFDS. The vessel was renamed ''Dana Gloria'' and placed on the Esbjerg - Newcastle route. Between 1984 and 1985 the ''Dana Gloria'' was chartered back to Silja Line. She was renamed ''Svea Corona'' and placed on the Stockholm - Mariehamn - Turku route. At the end of the charter the vessel returned to her previous name of ''Dana Gloria'' operating on the Copenhagen - Oslo route until the winter of 1988/89 when the vessel was stretched by 22.3 meters by Meyer Werft in Papenburg. She emerged from rebuilding as the ''King of Scandinavia''. In 1994 the ''King of Scandinavia'' was replaced on the Copenhagen - Oslo route by the ''Crown of Scandinavia''. The ''King of Scandinavia'' was immediately purchased by Color Line, renamed ''Color Viking'' and entered service on the Bergen - Haugesund - Stavanger - Newcastle route. In 1998 Color Line sold the ''Color Viking'' and the Norway - UK route to Norwegian ferry operator Fjord Line. The vessel was renamed ''Jupiter''. She operated the route until November 2005, being replaced by the larger ''Fjord Norway''. Between February 2006 and February 2007 the ''Jupiter'' was chartered to Statoil for use as an accommodation ship at Melkøya Island near Hammerfest. In April 2007 the ship was sold to Hong Kong based Royal Group. The vessel operates cruises from Sihanoukville in Cambodia to the Vietnamese island of Phú Quốc. MS Jupiter is temporarily out for sales since April 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MS Jupiter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
