She operated overnight Mumbai–Goa cruises from 2018 and has not been in regular service since 2020.

About This Vessel
QPS Marine Ships offers RO/PAX passenger ship S2838 for sale. This 131-metre, 6,865 GT twin-screw vessel was built in 1997 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan for a long-haul island passenger and cargo service, and was later converted in India into an overnight coastal cruise ferry. She has 104 cabins in several categories plus dormitory and pod accommodation for 399 passengers, two restaurants, bars, a lounge, a pool, a spa and open sun decks. Two NKK main engines (27,000 PS total) give a service speed of 22.5 knots. She has been laid up in India since her Mumbai–Goa cruise service stopped, and her class is currently suspended, so she suits a buyer planning reactivation for coastal cruise, ferry, accommodation or charter use. Price on application — contact QPS Marine Ships for the full specification, photos and inspection arrangements for S2838.
