According to various reports out of Italy, the former MSC Melody may be heading for a new life with Sahara India as a floating hotel in Goa.

The ship was de-commissioned following her final voyage in September 2012, and has been reportedly stripped of the MSC logos on its hull recently following the rumored transfer.

The ship was built in 1982 in France, and sailed for Home Lines and Premier before joining MSC in 1997.
