About Starward

MS Starward was a cruise ship built in 1968 at the AG Weser shipyard in Bremerhaven, West Germany. Originally commissioned for Norwegian Caribbean Line after the success of its first ship, Sunward, Starward was the first purpose-built ship for the newly-established cruise line. In 1995, Starward was sold to Festival Cruises, who renamed the vessel Bolero. The vessel was briefly chartered to Spanish Cruise Line, but was sold to Abou Merhi Cruises, who renamed her Orient Queen, after Festival Cruises was forced to declare bankruptcy in early 2004. In 2006, Louis Cruise Lines bought Orient Queen and kept the name intact. Orient Queen was briefly used by the United States Government in 2006 to evacuate U.S. citizens out of Lebanon due to the conflict between Lebanon and Israel. Louis Cruise Lines renamed the ship to Louis Aura in 2012.
