Jupiter was built at the Dubegion-Normandie shipyard in Nantes in 1974 for FÅA / Silja Line.

In 1981 the super ferries Silvia Regina and Finlandia entered service on the Helsinki – Stockholm 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.

The vessel operated cruises from Sihanoukville in Cambodia to the Vietnamese island of Phú Quốc.

The vessel could no longer sail under its own power and broke its moorings during Typhoon Damrey.
