Kristina Regina- The Last Voyage
The Kristina Regina approaching Naantali on August 29 during her probably last voyage in open sea.
Retired after 50 years of service. The passenger vessel Kristina Regina has most likely done her last longer sea journey and is after a docking to
be permanently moored in Turku as a floating hotel, restaurant and museum. The vessel arrived at Naantali on August 29,
where she during the second half of September will be docked at Turku Repair Yard. During the refit she will be painted
in her original Bore-livery and get her old name back. The vessel was delivered in 1960 by Oskarshamn’s Varv in
Sweden to the Finnish shipping company Bore as the Bore. Kristina Cruises has replaced the Kristina Regina with the
newer cruise vessel Kristina Katarina, which started her maiden voyage the same day as the Kristina Regina left the
fleet after having been handed over to her new owners.
