The M/S Kazakhstan was my first cruise when I was maybe 14 yrs old.....now 45 yrs old... wondering what happened to her. Anyone know?

The MS Khazakstan was one of five sister ships of the Belaroosiya class built for the Soviet Union

 

From Wiki:

 

The Kazakhstan was launched on 17 October 1975 and delivered in June 1976. She was named after the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. The Kazakhstan was converted to a cruise ship at Lloyd Werft, West Germany in 1984.[10][22] In December 1994 she was transferred under the ownership of Blasco UK, transferred under Liberian flag and renamed Ukraina. On 2 September 1996 she was chartered to Royal Seas Cruises Lines, reverted to Ukrainian flag and used for cruising from Tampa.[10] After the end of charter in January 1997 she reverted to the name Ukraina and was chartered to SeaEscape. On 13 February 1998 she was renamed Island Adventure but continued in service with SeaEscape

 

 

 

I belive in 2006 or 2007 SeaEscape folded and the Island Adventure (ex Ukrania and Khazakstan) has been layed up since then. It is roumoured she may be used for casino cruises out of Port Canaveral.
