Under the name "Clarity" she underwent an extensive refit which left no component or shipboard system untouched. The refit, which cost approximately 800K, was overseen by her full time crew and completed late spring/early summer of 2010.

Below please find a brief rundown of some of her seasonal big projects, upgrades and customizations.
