Costa Crociere and Ibero Cruises
as Grand Voyager.
On 14 February 2005, the MV Grand Voyager was struck by a
MV Explorer
operating in the Pacific.
She entered service for Costa in December 2011, originally planned to sail Costa's Corals and Ancient Treasures Red Sea itinerary. She sailed in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, dedicated to guests from the French market.[5] The ship has sailed voyages from Amsterdam and the Mediterranean Sea.
The vessel was sold for 43.68 million US-Dollar to Bohai Ferry Company from Yantai in February 2014, and was renamed Chinese Taishan.[6][7][8]
