In 2003 Color Line spent sixty million Norwegian kroner to upgrade the onboard interior. In 2005 she was transferred to the new Bergen—Stavanger—Hirtshals route, when Color Line introduced the new MS "Color Fantasy" on the Oslo—Kiel route. On 8 January 2008 "Prinsesse Ranghild" was moved to the Oslo–Hirtshals route, replacing the MS "Color Festival", which was sold to Corsica Ferries. In April 2008, Color Line announced that due to "negative financial development" in the service, the Oslo—Hirtshals route was to be closed on 6 May 2008, and the "Prinsesse Ragnhild" was placed for sale. Following closure of the route, the "Prinsesse Ragnhild" was laid up at Sandefjord.
