The ship was launched on 26 April 1986 under the name ''Olympia'', and operated between Stockholm and Helsinki for Viking Line. ''Olympia'' was built as a sister ship to MS ''Mariella''. In 1993 Rederi AB Slite suffered financial problems and was forced to declare bankruptcy. ''Olympia'' was sold to Irish Continental Group and chartered to P&O European Ferries who renamed her the ''Pride of Bilbao''. As of 1994, ''Pride of Bilbao'' has been registered in Portsmouth,since November 2008 she has been registered in Nassau, Bahamas. In 2002 she received a major refurbishment, during which the vast majority of public spaces were updated and brought in line with P&O Ferries' new corporate branding of onboard facilities, as well as updating her livery. In addition to this, all Club Cabins and Suites received new carpets and textiles as well as having their en-suites remodelled and refurbished. The vessel operated between Portsmouth and Bilbao between 2007 and 2010, completing one return sailing every three days before this route was closed in September 2010. She has also been previously used to provide a weekly service between Portsmouth and Cherbourg – the "Party Cruise". 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 SPL Princess Anastasia (1986)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
