1998–2009: First years

The ship was ordered in 1998 by Strintzis Lines.^[1][4][5][6] The keel was laid on August 24, 1999^[1] and was launched at December 18 of the same year.^[1] She was intended to be named Superferry Atlantic^[1][4][5] and serve Brindisi – Patras line^[5]. However, after Strintzis Lines' acquisition of 48% stake by Attica Enterprise and renaming to Blue Star Ferries, she got her current name.^[1][4][5] She was delivered on June 6, 2000^[1] and on June 13, she was deployed by between Ancona – Brindisi – Patras^[1][4][5][6], connecting Italy with Greece.^[7] By 2001, Brindisi was no longer included on her route, despite her excellent results here^[1][4][5].^[6] Instead she was now stopping to Igoumenitsa from April to October.^[4][5][6] On 2002, due to the Superfast III and IV being sold, she had to replace them and the call in Igoumenitsa became regular.^[5] In July however, due to the delivery of Superfast XI, she was deployed between Piraeus – Patmos – Leros – Kos – Rhodes^[1][4][5][6] in Dodecanese,^[7] occasionally stopping in Syros, Mykonos and Amorgos.^[4][5] On March 4, 2005, she was replaced by her sistership, and returned to Adriatic, this time between Patras – Igoumenitsa – Bari.^{[1][4][5][6][7]} The last day of her on that route was on January 3, 2007.^[1][4][6]

Afterwards, she arrived at Neorion Shipyards, Syros island for extension on deck 9:^[7] Although the passenger capacity decreased, 15 new cabins were added and some crew cabins became passenger cabins. On January 26, she departed Piraeus towards Zeebrugge, where she arrived 3 days later. Once she arrived, she was deployed between Zeebrugge – Rosyth, in order to cover the space left by the Superfast X, which was sold earlier, until September 14, 2008. She was then returned to Greece and arrived in Patras on September 19. 5 days later she returned on the Patras – Igoumenitsa – Bari line.

2010–2021

After 3 years on the Patras Igoumenitsa line, in 2011, she was deployed between Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona between February 10 and March 21. The following day she returned on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Bari line for three more days until deploying between Piraeus – Syros – Santorini – Patmos – Leros – Kos – Rhodes, serving the Aegean Sea from the first time in 6 years. On February 1, 2012, she was deployed between Piraeus – Heraklion, under the ANEK-Attica joint venture, for one year, before returning to the Adriatic Sea on November 15, 2013.

She was then deployed between Patras – Igoumenitsa – Ancona, for one month before returning to the Aegean Sea on December 9. Since then, she operated the following lines:
