Mirage I (formerly Magic I, Seminole Empress, Crucero Express, Jupiter, Bolero, Scandinavica and built as Bolero)[2] was a cruiseferry built in 1973 in France for Fred. Olsen & Co. It was one of three sister ships, along with MS Royal Iris and MS Scandinavian Star.

During 2003 the ship operated as Ocean Club Cruises from Port Canaveral with 2-night cruises to Grand Bahama and 3-night cruises to Key West and Grand Bahama. In March 2004, it was bought by "Magic 1 Cruise Line Corp", a wholly owned subsidiary of Isramco, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISRL).[3] It operated from the Port of Ashdod as Magic 1 until 2010.

In March 2012, it arrived at Aliağa, Turkey for dismantling,[2] after being listed for sale for US$4,000,000.[4]
