This Intimate Cruise vessel went through a major upgrade in 2017, where six new engines were installed along with a completely new engine room, making her very fuel efficient.
At the same time, new bathrooms were installed throughout the ship, and all public spaces were refurbished.
In 2019 she received recognition from Travel Weekly for being a passenger favorite, when she was awarded the Magellan Gold Award in the category “Best Overall Small Cruise Ship (500 pax or under)”.
