Nach einer spektakulären Auswasserung am Hallwilersee, und dem Nachttransport des Schiffes auf dem Landweg, kam das Schiff zum umfassenden Refit in eine Halle bei Biel. Die Modernisierung konzentrierte sich auf alle Sicherheitsrelevanten Systeme, den Aufbau, den Innenausbau und die Stromversorgung. Bei der Umsetzung sämtlicher Massnahmen wurde berücksichtigt, dass der einzigartige Charakter des Schiffes erhalten bleibt.
