The MS Mediterranean Sky was a combination-passenger liner built in 1953 for Ellerman Lines' service between London and South Africa.

Originally named MS City of York, she was sold in 1971 to Karageorgis Lines, converted to a cruiseferry and renamed.

[2] The City of York was built by Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering of Barrow-in-Furness in the United Kingdom.

[1] In 1963, a large party for about 250 guests was held on the ship for the North of England shippers and importers.

[6] In 2018, the Berlin-based Graffiti crew 1UP roller-painted their name across the exposed side of the ship, which can be seen on satellites.
