Scottish Coast

Scottish Coast  ran the Glasgow-Dublin service until 1965. In subsequent years, she appeared on various routes, including Ardrossan-Belfast in the summer, and relief for other routes during winter overhauls. She ran the Glasgow-Belfast service after the withdrawal of Royal Scotsman/Ulsterman, closing the route in September 1969.
 
The Scottish Coast was sold in 1969 to Kavounides Lines for Mediterranean cruising, and renamed Galaxias.
Following an unsuccessful spell in Vancouver Galaxias was sold to Louis Cruise Lines of Cyprus.
 
She survived as Louis Cruise Lines' Princesa Amorosa, cruising out of Cyprus, still with her original engines
 
She was broken up in 2003
