The MV Ocean Life was a cruise ship for a number of cruise lines, including Hellenic Seaways and Blue Ocean Cruises, under a number of names. She was sold for scrap in 2014.

History
Palmira at Hamburg in 1999.
She was built in 1981 as a Dmitriy Shostakovich-class ferry by Stocnia Szczecinska im A Warskiego, Szczecin, Poland as Lev Tolstoy for the Black Sea Shipping Company. She was third in a series of seven near-identical ferries built for various shipping companies of the Soviet Union. She sailed under the names Natasha, Palmira, The Jasmine, Farah, EasyCruise Life and finally Ocean Life with Blue Open Cruise Lines, who operated her on a series of Indian coastal voyages.

Fate
The ship was sold for scrapping at Aliağa, Turkey, in August 2014.
