ss Norway - Ex ss France - leaving Cromarty Firth

Picture of the cruise ship ss Norway - ex ss France - leaving the Cromarty Firth, Scotland. On the right you can see one of Knutsen vessels at the Nigg Terminal.


Editor: Now that is a proper cruise liner! Anyone knows her present situation? There has been quite some campaigning to save her...

Last i heard in the Ships Monthly, Norwegian Cruise Lines had taken her out of service and she had been sold on for to be scrapped. What a waste of a fantastic ship and a former record holder as the worlds longest ship.

It looks very much like she has had an couple of upper decks added since her 'France' days. Was she not also lengthened at some time?. I do agree with the editor regarding being a 'Proper Liner'.

The ssMaritime web site news update page dated 15 February 2008 has pictures and text concerning the gradual demolition of this fine ship, in India.

Recent info received states she is now stripped "down to the waterline" - so SAD!

A gorgeous picture of the SS Norway! My favorite ship and I was fortunate enough to have sailed on her four times including a 16 day transatlantic in Sept 2001. When was this picture taken? Was it perhaps during the crossing I was on as we did visit Scotland too? There will never be another ship like her again.None of these modern boxboats will ever compare to the Regal beauty she was. She was a real ship! I will miss her terribly.
