Dubawi, was converted by Platinum Yachts, from a mini cruise ship, originally named Renaissance I. Work started in 2007 and she was relaunched earlier this year as a luxury yacht. Now registered in the UAE.
Above are some photos of her relaunch and first sea trials.
Easy Cruise One and Clelia II, which were previously based in Monaco, were both "Renaissance" sister ships, II and IV respectively. (Thanks also Andy Lindy et al via PMY)
Platinum Yachts have another cruise ship from the Renaissance series in stock, with plans ready for a similar fast conversion to a high volume luxury yacht.

Formula One racing legend Nelson Piquet's yacht Pilar Rossi started off in life as a relatively modest 39 m motor yacht built in Italy.
But with input from his uncle, Brazilian naval architect Mauricio Piquet, Nelson Piquet decided to add outriggers, a couple of masts, and an extra 25 metres, and turn her into a sailing super yacht !!
She's already sailed from Brazil to Sardinia, and is now back in St Barths.

20 June 2009: Activity around Pari. A containment barrier has been placed around her and hull inspections appear to be taking place.
2 June 2009: Pari ran aground off St Jean Cap Ferrat, on Saturday 30th May, dragged on to the rocks at anchor by heavy winds during the night. Attempts to refloat her have been halted until an inspection of her hull has been undertaken. No one was reported injured.
As can be seen from the photos above, she has now been tethered to the rocks with some floatation devices at her bow and stern - or perhaps those are fuel containment barriers? No fuel was visible in the surrounding area.
The magnificent villa La Fleur Du Cap, that overlooks the waterfront, used to belong to Charlie Chaplin, then was owned by David Niven until his death in 1983.
Below, Pari last year in Cannes, in better times.
