M/S Floria was a ferry ordered by Siljarederiet Ab in 1968 and constructed by Oy Wärtsilä Ab between 1968 and 1970. It was set to sail between Turku and Stockholm. The ship has a sister-ship called MS Botnia.
History
1975–2002
In 1975 it was sold to Compañia Trasmediterranea S.A. and was renamed to Villa De Agaete. In 1999 it was sold to Naviera Armas S.A., and in 2002 it was sold again to Iscomar and renamed to Carmen Del Mar.
2002–2008
Whilst operating for Iscomar, the ship sailed on the route Denia-Palma. On the 2nd of July, 2007, the ship was held at Denia port due to poor hygiene and safety issues onboard. On the 18th of April, 2008, the ship hit the side of a smaller vessel, Manuel Azana, outside Ibiza. Later that year the ship was taken out of service.
On the 5th of September, 2008, the ship was sold to be scrapped in India.
