From 26 January to 23 March 2010, Mona Lisa was used as floating accommodations while docked at the Squamish port in British Columbia, Canada. During the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Vancouver and Whistler, approximately 1,400 crew, volunteers and paid staff were housed aboard.
The ship resumed sailing until August 2010. It was uncertain if the ship could comply with the new SOLAS regulations coming into effect in October 2010. After a failed attempt to return the ship to Sweden, she was bought by the Korean Daewoo company and moved to Duqm, Oman, arriving on October 26, 2010. It was used as a floating luxury hotel, until October 2013 and then laid up. It was sold to ship breakers in 2015. |
