The vessel underwent refits in Genoa over the course of 2001 and 2002, removing the iconic winged funnel, and replacing with the traditional Costa upright yellow funnel design. The interiors were completing renovated, transforming the Carnival themed lounges into the contemporary Italian style seemed on other Costa ships. Costa Tropicale served with the company until 2005, when replacement by larger, more modern cruise ships prompted a transfer to another Carnival Corporation division: P&O Cruises Australia, where the vessel again underwent a major refit in Palermo, Italy and was renamed Pacific Star. She was formerly Queensland's latest cruise liner, based in Brisbane, performing cruises along the Tropical Queensland coast, to various islands in the South Pacific, New Caledonia, and to New Zealand. Pullmantur Cruises In 2008 the Pacific Star was sold to Pullmantur Cruises and renamed Ocean Dream following a refit in Singapore. In June 2009, an outbreak of swine flu occurred about the Ocean Dream during a cruise around Central and South America. The ship docked in Margarita, Venezuela to allow its Venezuelan passengers to disembark, before heading to Aruba, where the remaining passengers were able to leave the ship. An earlier report had suggested that the ship had been placed in quarantine, however, the ship's owners Pullmantur later denied that this was the case. Peace Boat In 2012 the M/S Ocean Dream , left the Pullmantur Cruises fleet, and was chartered to Peace Boat, replacing the SS Oceanic. In September 2020 Cruise Capital informed according to Hong Kong Cruise Society, Peace Boat is to replace the contracts of two ships Ocean Dream and Zenith from service, replacing them with one larger ship, chartered and renamed Pacific World from Spring 2021. Specifications released by Peace Boat suggested the new ship is the current Sun Princess, which is the only vessel to have done such deployments. Later this month, Carnival announced that they have sold the Sun Princess. The Ocean Dream was sold for scrap and beached in Alang, India, on 1 January 2021.
