MV Delphin is a cruise ship owned by the India-based Vishal Cruises Pvt. Ltd., under charter to the Germany-based Passat Kreuzfahrten. Built 1975 by Oy Wartsila AB in Finland and renovated 1986 and 1993 by Lloyd Werft, Bremerhaven, Germany and got converted into a cruise ship, with her bow unloading doors permanently welded. In 1992, while being serviced at Singapore's Singmarine Dockyard, she toppled over when a floating dock sank with her in it. In 1993, she went through renovations at Lloyd-Werft again and got completely modernized and elegantly re-equipped. At the same time, the Delphin Seereisen and later Delphin-owned Hansa Kreuzfahrten of Germany, had been chartered until bankruptcy. The ship was managed by MTC Marine Trade Consulting GmbH.
Due to the insolvency of Delphin Kreuzfahrten in October 2010, ship was not returned until late 2011 which had been sold by Vishal Cruises Pvt. Ltd. owner Yogesh Gupta.
Sister ships are: Azerbaizhan, Gruziya, Kareliya and Kazakhstan.
