Viking III was built in 1965 by Orenstein-Koppel und Lübecker Mach A/G, Lübeck, for Otto Thoresen for service between Southampton to Cherbourg/Le Havre. During the winter of 1965, Viking III was chartered to Atlantic Steam Navigation for services from Tilbury to Rotterdam and Antwerp. In 1968, Thoresen merged with Townsend to form Townsend-Thoresen Car Ferries. Viking III worked regular charters for other companies such as Lion Ferry , Fred Olsen, Larvik Lines, Sealink and Stena Line etc. In 1982 Viking III was sold to Da-No Linjen for service between Frederikstad-Frederikshavn as the Terje Vigen. She passed through various other Scandinavian owners as Scandinavia until spending 1990/91 with Vasabåtarna and Jakob Lines as Fenno Star. In 1992, Fenno Star was sold to Scandi Line as the Sandefjord, running between Sandefjord-Strömstad. Scandi Line became part of Larvik Line in 1994, and then Color Line in 1999. In 2003 she was sold to Saga Linie and adopted the name Sagafjord for a service Moss-Skagen. This service did not start until May 2004, but closed at the end of the summer, with Sagafjord being laid up in Horten.
