It was built in Germany as a cruise ship and was designed for adventure cruised .It struck something and sank in the sandfly passage in Solomon Islands on 30 April 2000
Still the captain was able to sail the ship into a bay in Nggela Island where it is still on display. It is said that local pirates looted the wreck as there was a civil war going on at that time.It is a major tourist attraction and many other cruise ships visit it often.
