Norway

Originally built in 1962 as the S/S France, this ship was the pride of the Grande Nation until it was laid up in 1974. Purchased by Norwegian Cruise Line in 1979, the grand liner was turned into cruising's very first superliner by Germany's Lloyd Werft shipyard. The same shipyard further enlarged the ship in 1990 and last refurbished her in late 2001. In a horrible boiler explosion in 2003, the Norway is currently laid up awaiting repair. It is uncertain if she will again enter service or be scraped. Time will tell.

Excerpt From NCL's Web Site About the Norway

Rediscover the Glory Days of Cruising! She was born into the grand era of ocean liners as the S/S France, one of the most beautiful and graceful vessels ever built and the last of the grand French cruise liners. Now re-christened the S/S Norway and refurbished to her original splendor, she offers a cruise experience that can take you back to the golden era of grand passenger liners, a time when guests expected, as a matter of course, impeccable service, meticulous attention to detail, and cuisine served with the flourish and grace of the finest restaurants in Europe.
