Bore I was ordered by Oy Siljavarustamo/Ab Silja Rederiet (Silja Line) in 1969. In 1971 the contract was taken over by Höyrylaiva Oy Bore/Ångfartygs Ab Bore (Bore Line), and she was completed as Bore I in 1973 by Oy Wärtsilä Ab.

Ilich was sold in 1996 to a Maltese company, becoming the Anastasia V, and then again to Windward Venture Shipping in 1997 as the Windward Pride, intended for a service between Barbados and Veneuela. In October 1997 she became the Baltic Kristina in service with Estline and until 2000, and then Tallink. Since 2002 she has been chartered to Riga Sea Line for a Riga-Stockholm service.
