The cruiseferry PREVELIS was built in 1980 in Japan, as the FERRY ORANGE No. 2 for Shikoku Kaihatsu Ferry, also known as Orange Ferry. She spent her first years on the Osaka-Tōyō line as a day ferry, before she was bought in 1994 by Rethymnon-based company Cretan Ferries. She was converted to a cruiseferry in Perama, was renamed PREVELI and entered service in 1995 on the company's main itinerary, the Piraeus-Rethymnon line. Cretan Ferries was acquired by ANEK Lines in 2000, with the PREVELI operating on her new company's service on the Piraeus-Rethymnon line. She was renamed PREVELIS in 2001. The year 2007 was her final one on the Piraeus-Rethymnon line, as she was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini line in 2008. Since 2009, the ship operates on one of the most demanding lifelines of the Aegean Sea, by providing service to the remote islands of Kasos and Karpathos, on the Piraeus-Milos-Santorini-Anafi-Heraklion-Siteia-Kasos-Karpathos-Chalki-Rhodes line. She grounded off in Santorini in 2014 and collided with the port pier of Anafi in 2015. She grounded off in Siteia in 2019, while also grounding off in Santorini in 2021.
