On February 3, 2023, a fire occurred on the ship. The incident occurred in one of the cabins, and then spread to 2 neighboring ones. At the time of the fire, the ship was in White Bay, Sidby. The fire was extinguished within an hour, but all 600 passengers were forced to leave the ship. The causes of the fire were not reported. There are no reports of casualties.

On December 29, 2022, the ship was ordered to leave the territorial waters of New Zealand. The reason is a strong growth of algae on the hull of the vessel. The liner received restrictions on visiting the ports of New Zealand, which has the highest standard of biofouling in the world. For the first time, the ship was given remarks on December 26 when visiting the port of Wellington.
