Prins Oberon

Prins Oberon - Prinz Oberon - Nordic Sun - Cruise Muhibah - Munster - Ambassador II

 

 

This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Prinz Ferries vessel Prins Oberon of 1970.

 

Prins Oberon was built in 1970 by Werft Nobiskrug, Rendsburg for Lion Ferry. She entered service for Prinzen Linien between Bremerhaven-Harwich. In 1978 Prins Oberon was sold to German owners and the name was revised to Prinz Oberon. In 1981, the line was acquired by DFDS, and the Harwich-Bremerhaven rote was closed at the end of 1982. Following charters to SMZ and Sealink, Prinz Oberon was laid up, returning for brief periods on DFDS services Esbjerg-Newcastle-Göteborg and a new Cuxhaven-Harwich-Göteborg route in 1984. Following further charters, she was sold for Malaysian services as Cruise Muhibah. From 1990-93 she was chartered to B&I Line as Munster (6) between Rosslare-Pembroke Dock. Various Mediterranean charters followed as Ambassador and Ambassador II. In 1997 she was rebuilt for short casino cruises from Florida, still named Ambassador II.
