History

From 1987 to 2007, the ship as Crown Prince Harald of Norway flag sailed daily the route Kiel- Oslo. On this route, it was the successor of two ships of the same name who had been there since 1961 or since 1976 in use. By 2004 they operated the route in cooperation with the Prins Ragnhild before it was replaced on 10 December 2004 by the Color Fantasy.

Just one week after a fire on the Prins Ragnhild the Crown Prince Harald was launched on 15 July 1999 with about 1,400 people on board en route from Oslo to Kiel in the Oslo fjord due. Since it was just a minor grounding, the ferry was able to free himself and the Norwegian port of call at Moss, where all the passengers were brought ashore unharmed. The ship was brought for review to Emden and repaired at the shipyard North Sea works. After the accident, both vessels the route Kiel- Oslo was interrupted for the first time since 1961. On 20 July 1999, the Crown Prince Harald resumed its operation.

In early 2007 the ship was sold to the Irish Continental Group, but sailed initially on charter the Color Line Kiel -Oslo route. With the departure on 31 August 2007 from Kiel Norway Kai the Kronprins Harald sailed the route for the last time. In September 2007, she became detached from the new Color Magic. Subsequently, the ship was renamed Oscar Wilde. The end of 2007, the ship was of Irish Ferries for the routes Rosslare (Ireland) - Roscoff / Cherbourg ( France ) or the United Kingdom under applicable requirements of the Color Line.
