The Empress of Britain was built in 1956 by Fairfields of Glasgow. She was Britain's first fully air conditioned liner. Initially running on the North Atlantic from Liverpool, she ran her first winter Caribbean cruise from New York in January 1960. Her final Atlantic voyage was number 123, completed in October 1963, only seven years after her maiden voyage.

She was sold to the Greek Line and re-entered service with them as Queen Anna Maria in 1965, running a fortnightly service to New York. Following the collapse of Greek Line she was again sold on, this time to Carnival, as the Carnivale. After Carnival upgraded their fleet she moved to Fiesta Marine cruises as the Fiesta Marina. She was sold again in 1994 to Epirotiki as Olympic and then went on charter to Thompson as the Topez and received a new colour scheme in 2002. She was replaced in the Thompson fleet in 2003 and chartered to Peace Boat Japan. Her Peace Boat contract runs out on April 28th and it is rumoured she will be on her way to an unamed Indian breakers yard.
