===1981&ndash;1986: Rederi Ab Sally ownership===
In March 1981, Commodore Cruise Line, as well as the ''Bohème'', were sold to the Finland-based [[Rederi Ab Sally]].<ref name=FoFen /><ref name=Simplon /> The new owners re-registered the ''Bohème'' in [[Panama]], leading to the resignation of most of the German officers due to worsened working conditions. The resigning officers were replaced with [[Scandinavia]]ns.<ref name=FoFen /> The following year, the German deck and engine crews were replaced by [[Filipino people|Filipinos]]. Originally, the new crew members were meant for {{MS|Navarino||2}}, a former [[ocean liner]] (ex Gripsholm 1957) Sally had purchased for conversion into service with Commodore Cruise Line. However, after the ''Navarino'' was severely damaged following the capsizing of its [[dry dock]], the conversion plans were abandoned.<ref name=FoFen /><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/gripsholm_1957.htm |title=M/S ''Gripsholm'' (1957) |access-date=2008-04-12 |last=Asklander |first=Micke |work=Fakta om Fartyg |language=sv }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thegreatoceanliners.com/gripsholm2.html |title=''Gripsholm'' (II)/''Navarino''/''Regent Sea'' |access-date=2008-04-12 |last=Othfors |first=Daniel |work=The Great Ocean Liners |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091010101055/http://www.thegreatoceanliners.com/gripsholm2.html |archive-date=2009-10-10 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The crew already hired for the ''Navarino'' was transferred to the ''Bohème''.<ref name=FoFen />

Between November 1982 and August 1983, the ''Bohème'' was chartered to [[Brazilia]]-based [[Saitecin Cruises]] for cruises around South America. She also made one cruise from Miami under this charter.<ref name=FoFen /><ref name=FoFsv /> Following this charter, the ship again returned to West Germany to be rebuilt, this time in [[Bremerhaven]], where two new diesel generators were installed and much of the interior decorations replaced. While in Bremerhaven, she also received a new external livery. On returning to service in 1984, the ''Bohème'' was placed on a new Miami–[[Port-au-Prince]]–[[Port Antonio]]–[[Grand Cayman]]–[[Cozumel]]–Miami itinerary. The schedule proved to be too tight to maintain, especially in poor weather conditions.<ref name=FoFen /> With engine problems causing further issues, this itinerary only lasted until November 1984, when the ship was chartered to [[SeaEscape]] for its Miami–[[Freeport, Bahamas|Freeport]] ferry service.<ref name=FoFen /><ref name=FoFsv />

In February 1985, the ''Bohème'' returned to Commodore Cruise Line service. Her port of departure was changed to [[Saint Petersburg, Florida]], to better cater to the needs of Commodore's main clientele, retired people living on Florida's west coast. The ship's new seven-day itinerary was Saint Petersburg–[[Key West]]–[[Port Antonio]]–[[Cozumel]]–Saint Petersburg. The new route proved to be short-lived, as the ''Bohème'' was sold to [[San Donato Properties Corporation]] in September 1986 for US$10 million ({{Inflation|index=US|value=10000000|start_year=1986|r=-3|fmt=eq}}), to be converted for use with the Church of Scientology.<ref name=FoFen /><ref name=FoFsv />
