The ALMARIYA, a ferry first introduced in 1981 as OLAU HOLLANDIA by the German shipping company Olau Line, has had a storied past. Built by AG "Weser" Seebeckwerft in Bremerhaven (Germany), it began operations between Sheerness and Vlissingen.

In August 1989, the ship was sold to Nordström & Thulin and rebranded as NORD GOTLANDIA for its subsidiary Gotlandslinjen. It operated between Visby and Nynäshamn or Oskarshamn until December 1997.

The vessel then became the NORDLANDIA, sold to Eckerö Line in December 1997. Operating between Helsinki and Tallinn, the ship had several incidents, including collisions and getting stuck in ice.

In June 2013, the ship was sold to the Isabella Cruise Company and renamed ISABELLA 1. It sailed under the Belize flag and was chartered by Acciona Trasmediterránea, operating between Almería and Nador.

Finally, in January 2016, Cia Trasmediterránea SA purchased the ship, renaming it ALMARIYA. Since then, it has been chartered by Trasmediterránea and is currently operating between southern Spain and North Africa.
