Under P&O Stena Line '' P&OSL Canterbury '' continued the Dover-Calais route , on 11 August 1999 she was hired out on charter to the Daily Mail to enable passengers to view the European Solar Eclipse . This era was not without fault , with further bow door problems in April 2000 and flooding of a machine room in May 2001 causing her to be taken out of service for repairs both times . In October 2002 , P&O bought Stena Lines ' 40 % share in P&O Stena Line and the vessel was speedily renamed '' PO Canterbury '' , then returning after her winter refit as the '' Pride of Canterbury '' for a short service in Spring 2003 . In Mid-May 2003 , '' Pride of Canterbury '' was laid up in Dunkirk awaiting disposal , thus ending her 13 year career on the Dover-Calais route . She was sold to GA Ferries of Greece in October 2003 but did not depart until March 2004
