Built as Stena Baltica in 1966, she operated on various Scandinavian routes.

[1] In 1970, she was acquired by the Caledonian Steam Packet Company and rebuilt at Scott Lithgow in Greenock.

[3] She soon proved too small for the route (as well as criticisms of her abilities, being replaced by MV Clansman) and was moved to Oban, until April 1988, when she was replaced by the larger MV Isle of Mull.

Purchased for conversion to a floating restaurant, she was laid up in Dundee until December 1988, when she was sold for service in Italy, as Heidi.

[3] In 2005, she sank at her moorings in Naples,[3] was re-floated and towed to Aliağa, Turkey for scrapping.
