The former Costa Magica recently crossed the Suez Canal and the Red Sea as part of its delivery voyage to Tianjin Orient International Cruise Line.

After departing from Greece on Nov. 19, the 2004-built vessel crossed the navigational channel on Nov. 25, 2025.

Under the name Vision, the ship is currently sailing to China ahead of a summer deployment out of Tianjin.

According to Tianjin Orient International Cruise Line, the vessel will undergo a comprehensive upgrade before welcoming its first guests in Asia.

Expected to be renamed Ideal after the project, the Vision will serve the Chinese national market alongside the Dream.

Additional deployment details are set to be revealed at a later date. The former Costa Magica was acquired by Tianjin Orient in mid-November.

Originally built for Costa Cruises at the Fincantieri shipyard, the ship hasn’t operated cruises since prior to the pandemic.

Bought by Seajets in early 2023, the ship was initially laid up in Greece as the Mykonos Magic before being transferred to a new cruise line, Neonyx Cruises.

Launched in 2024, the startup brand renamed the vessel Goddess of the Night for service in the Greek Islands and Turkey.

The company, which was introduced by Seajets, planned to offer a new product focused on parties and nightlife.

While Neonyx never actually launched service, the 2,720-guest ship was briefly chartered to a government entity to provide housing for a summit in Italy.

With the former Costa Magica sold, Seajets now owns three cruise ships: the former Veendam, the former Majesty of the Seas and the former Oceana.

Previously in service for Holland America, Royal Caribbean and P&O, the vessels are laid up in ports across Greece while reportedly waiting for new operators.

The Greek ferry operator bought eight cruise ships during the pandemic, including vessels from Carnival Corporation and Cruise & Maritime Voyages.

While two ships were sold to scrapyards, others found new owners in Europe, such as the Celestyal Journey and the Renaissance.
