About IMO 8705278
MV Doulos Hope is a former cruise ship now serving as a floating bookfair owned by the German faith-based charity Gute Bücher für Alle. Currently named after the MV Doulos, the world's oldest active ocean-faring passenger ship until its retirement in December 2009, Doulos Hope was originally intended to sail as the Lady Sarah. For most of its career, it has served as a cruise ship under the names Aurora II, Megastar Aries, Genting World and The Taipan, predominantly for Hong Kong's now-defunct Star Cruises. After a long completion of a refit in mid-2023, Doulos Hope is based in Southeast Asia and provides a floating bookfair in shallow-water ports to complement the much larger MV Logos Hope.
