The MV Discovery was a cruise ship that had a long and varied history. Originally launched in 1971 as the Island Venture, it underwent several name changes and ownership transfers over the years before being acquired by Voyages of Discovery in 2003. The ship was extensively refurbished and renamed Discovery, becoming a popular choice for cruises to exotic destinations. It had a capacity of 700 passengers and offered a range of amenities including restaurants, lounges, and a swimming pool. The ship had a distinctive appearance with its blue hull and white superstructure. Unfortunately, in 2014, Voyages of Discovery went into administration, leading to the sale of the Discovery. The ship was eventually purchased by Cruise & Maritime Voyages but was retired from service in 2015. Despite its eventual fate, the MV Discovery left a lasting impression on passengers who enjoyed its comfortable accommodations and unique travel experiences.
