===1992–1994: ''Frans Suell''===
On 16 May 1992 ''Frans Suell'' was christened in [[Malmö]] by the [[Swedish people|Swedish]] [[opera singer]] [[Birgit Nilsson]]. The following day she set on her maiden voyage from Malmö to [[Travemünde]] and [[Lübeck]], with only invited guests on board.<ref name=Stampehl /> On 19 May 1992 she began normal service on the Malmö–Travemünde route, with a daily departure from both ports.<ref name=EurowayHistory /><ref name=EurowayTimetable>{{cite web |url=http://www.cruiseferry.de/euroway/eurowayroute.html |title=The Route |accessdate=2008-03-26 |work=The Euroway Memory Page }}</ref> The service had a troubled start, as marketing had been difficult due to delays in the construction of the ship. Due to restrictions placed by the city of Malmö on traffic through the city, no trucks could be carried on board, and operating the buffet restaurant on board caused difficulties for the company.<ref name=FoF /><ref name=EurowayHistory />

From 1 September 1992 onwards ''Frans Suell''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s route was extended to Lübeck for the duration of the [[northern hemisphere]] winter season. The call at Travemünde was maintained as the city of Lübeck did not allow cars to be unloaded in the city. Due to the longer crossing times the timetable was altered with departures from every second day from Malmö and Lübeck, with overnight crossings.<ref name=FoF /><ref name=EurowayHistory /><ref name=EurowayTimetable />

On 1 June 1993 Sea-Link Shipping entered an agreement with [[Silja Line]], with the latter assuming marketing and operational responsibility of the Euroway service and ships. The service now became marketed as Silja Line Euroway, with [[MS Silja Festival|''Silja Festival'']] joining ''Frans Suell'' as the second ship on the service (the original planned second ship, [[MS Frans Kockum|''Frans Kockum'']], had been even more severely delayed than ''Frans Suell'', and eventually Sea-Link cancelled the order).<ref name=Stampehl /><ref name=EurowayHistory /><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/crown_of_scandinavia_1994.htm |title=M/S ''Crown of Scandinavia'' (1994) |accessdate=2008-03-26 |last=Asklander |first=Micke |work=Fakta om Fartyg |language=Swedish }}</ref> From the beginning of June 1993 ''Frans Suell'' (and ''Silja Festival'')'s route was again shortened to Malmö–Travemünde, with two daily departures from both ports.<ref name=EurowayTimetable />

With hopes of attracting more passengers, for the 1993–1994 winter season the route was extended into [[Copenhagen]]–Malmö–Travemünde–Lübeck from 1 September 1993 onwards, with daily departures from Copenhagen and Lübeck.<ref name=EurowayTimetable /> Due to the low passenger figures on the service and the poor financial situation of Silja Line, the decision was made to terminate the Euroway service on 12 March 1994.<ref name=EurowayHistory /> Silja Line wished to charter ''Frans Suell'' for use on their [[Turku]]–[[Stockholm]] service, and already on 2 March 1994 she had been chartered to Silja.<ref name=Stampehl />
