Since these pictures were taken, as at the end of 2021 she was laid up in Greece with no plans announced. She was renamed AEGEAN MYTH by then new owners Seajets, then in 2022 again renamed RENAISSANCE under new French cruise line Compagnie Française de Croisières (CFC) but never sailed under the name. Now in 2023, news that she has been sold again to Victoria Cruise Lines and until plans are firmed up will not be renamed.
