Click cover for full brochureFreeport was really a car ferry, however its first assignment was running daily round-trip cruises from Miami to Freeport effective December 7, 1968. The cabins were very small, either 75 sq ft or 95 sq ft, except for six "suites" of 123 sq ft. Roundtrip fares started at US$25, which included a stateroom, plus US$7 to add dinner and breakfast. There were 214 outside cabins and 66 inside plus a garage for 170 cars. Soon, some of the Freeport cruises were expanded to two nights including Nassau, but in 1973, it was sold and repositioned to Europe as a car ferry.
Then it was back again in 1976 as Caribe for Commodore Cruise Line doing weekly cruises from Miami in the winter season. In the summer it was a cruise ferry between Portland, Maine and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Finally, in 1981, it became a full-time day cruise ship sailing from Port Everglades under the names Scandinavian Sun and later Discovery Sun.
