the Naantali–Mariehamn–Kapellskär route for the summer months. In 1999 the summer route's eastern terminus was changed to Turku, allowing Viking to give up the terminal at Naantali completely. Helsinki–Tallinn (2003–2008) Fearing losses after the termination of tax-free sales between Finland and Estonia after Estonia joined the EU in 2004, Viking Line decided to swap the routes of Rosella and Cinderella in autumn 2003. Rosella began a ferry-service between Helsinki and Tallinn with two daily departures from both ports, while the Cinderella (now renamed Viking Cinderella) took over Rosellas Stockholm–Mariehamn cruise itinerary. Due to high prices the Rosellas new route was extremely unpopular during the first year and the company strongly considered selling the ship. However, after prices were lowered the ship's popularity increased, to the extent that in 2006 Viking Line decided to order a new fast ferry for the Helsinki-Tallinn route, the . The Viking XPRS replaced Rosella on the route on April 28, 2008. Kapellskär–Mariehamn (2008-2023) On 30 May 2008, the Rosella replaced the Ålandsfärjan on the Kapellskär–Mariehamn route. She was supposed to be a temporary ship and then replaced by the newbuilding Viking ADCC in 2010. However, when the building project was cancelled due to big delays at the shipyard Rosella became the permanent ship to sail on the route. In early 2011 MS Rosella underwent a major refurbishment where the public areas were extensively rebuilt and enlarged. In February 2013, Viking Line announced that Rosella will be re-flagged to Finland. Greece (2023-present) Viking Line's M/S Rosella is sold to the Greek shipping company Aegean Sealines Maritime Co. Rosella will be deployed there in the Aegean. Viking Line has been working hard to modernise its fleet. Alternative solutions for the short routes between Sweden and Åland are being examined. The ship finished its services for Viking Line on 8 January 2023. Delivery is scheduled for the second half of January 2023. Rosella had been part of Viking Line's fleet since 1980. Although the ship is of a good standard, it no longer meets Viking Line's strict sustainability requirements. Renamed as “Anemos”, she left Mariehamn for the last time on 24 January 2023.
