By 2004 Sea Containers owned Silja Line entirely. The company was doing well financially and all seemed to be going well. However, Sea Containers' other operations were not as profitable and in late 2005 they announced their intent to give up their ferry division completel; this naturally including selling Silja Line. In preparation for the sale the unprofitable "Finnjet" and were taken out of service and transferred under Sea Containers' ownership. "Silja Serenade" and "Symphony" were also rebuilt in early 2006 to make them more attractive to potential buyers.
