Prior to 2002 Star Cruises chartered their Superstar Taurus from Silja Line. After breaking their charter contract with Silja, the vessel was once again in the hands of the Silja Line. On June 1, 2002 the Superstar Taurus was rebuilt for cruise service on the Baltic Sea and was renamed the Silja Opera and placed under the Swedish Flag. She started cruising the Baltic Sea with Helsinki as the starting point and cruising to St. Petersburg. She encountered numerous mishaps including significant collisions. Cruise routes never gained popularity, and in 2006 she was transferred to SeaContainers which was the Parent Company of Silja Line. At the same time, she was changed from the Swedish to a Bahamian flag and her name was shortened to Opera. |
