The Hansa Express soon proved too small however, and already in November 1963 Finnlines ordered a pair of larger ferries to replace her.

However, she stayed in finnlines traffic for the time being, as a buyer wasn't found until September 1977 when she was sold to Birka Line, Finland, with the price of 50 million Swedish kronor, to be delivered in January 1978.

She remained there for a year, until in April 1987 she was sold to Louis Cruise Lines, Cyprus for 3 million US dollars.

In 1995 the ship was once again rebuilt, this time cabins in the forward section of her fifth deck were enlarged, and even received large picture windows.

In July 2006 the ship was chartered to German authorities to evacuate Canadian citizens and several other nationalities from Lebanon, after which she returned to normal service until August 11, 2006, when she was presumably again laid up.

In May 2008 the ship was scrapped at Alang, India, under the temporary name "Prince", registered in Batumi, Georgia (Code Letters: 4LFF2).
