MS Star Pisces was a cruise ship owned by Star Cruises and made short cruises from Hong Kong between 1994 and 2022. She was originally completed as the cruiseferry Kalypso in 1990 at Masa-Yards' Turku New Shipyard, Finland for Rederi AB Slite to run on Viking Line's Finland–Sweden route. After Slite's bankruptcy in 1993, the ship was sold to Star Cruises. She was sold for demolition in 2022.
