She damaged her bow thruster during the maiden voyage, and it was not repaired until 10 June of the same year during an extra docking at Vuosaaren telakka, Helsinki.

As an initial solution, the Bore Star was chartered to Finnlines for winter seasons 1975-76 and 1976-77 while Svea Corona and Wellamo served the route as a two-ship operation.

[1][4] She was rebuilt at Oskarshamns Varv, Sweden as MS Sundancer for cruising on the west coast of North America.

In August 1984 the Sundancer was refloated and towed into Burrard Shipyard, Vancouver, where she was examined and declared a constructive total loss.

[1][2] On June 2, 1991, a fire broke out onboard while the ship was in Venice, preparing to depart on a product exhibition cruise for Bosch.

A fire broke out in her engine room during the rebuilding at Perama, Greece, and for a third time the ship was declared a total constructive loss.

No further buyers were found to restore the ill-fated ship, and she was towed to the scrapyard in Aliağa, Turkey, on 29 March 1995,[3] and was subsequently broken up.

[1] Interior features of the Svea Corona (and her sisters) included a sauna and swimming pool, several restaurants, conference facilities for 140 people, a night club, movie theatre and a children's playroom.
