Built by Camper & Nicholsons in 1910 to a design by Charles E. Nicholson as Sylvana, she was completely rebuilt in 2005 to modern standards with many of her interior features retained to ensure her historic integrity.

Under power, twin Caterpillar 230hp engines give her a cruising speed of 11 knots and a top speed of 13 knots.
Lying in La Spezia, Italy, Orion of the Seas is asking €16.5 million.
