Fate
After the damage Stella Solaris suffered in 2001, she was planned for yet another remodeling and further cruise service. Unfortunately, in the years following, modern cruise ships began to overtake older ships in popularity. Maintenance costs rose and Stella Solaris was taken out of service in 2002. Along with hundreds of other relatively old ocean liners, she was sold for scrap around late 2003. She sailed for Alang, Bhavnagar District, India under the delivery name S Solar, arriving on December 8, 2003, alongside another, smaller, Sun Lines ship, SS Stella Oceanis. Much of the artwork and furnishings from Stella Solaris was auctioned off, some materials and fittings were also recovered and sold, while the rest of her hull was broken up and turned into scrap metal.
