SS Norway, latest??

[Aussie Cruiser]

Ian's pictures are wonderful ! It is great that she has made it this far... to my memory the last time she was in Cape Town would have been on the World Cruise 1974 - 31 years ago ! Lets hope she makes it to Malaysia or Singapore now...She does look in great shape - but no idea if her interior was stripped pre departure from Bremerhaven... any comments ?

Regards from Sydney Australia

Hello Ross,

her interiors were left virtually untouched. The gambling equipment from the casino (which I guess was operated on a concession basis) was removed last year or so already, but other than that hardly anything has changed. All furniture, carpets etc. have been wrapped / protected.

Most definitely, yes. I'm sure others would also love to see them.

Mr. Fiebig, or whomever..
Does anyone know where she is now?

Hi !
I have 3 large photogtaphs of the ss France in Sydney. They are great press pictures and one is in colour. I have them stored and need to hunt them out. So as soon as I locate them I shall scan and work out how to attach them in here... I am sure any France/Norway fan will like to see them.

Regards from a cold wet Sydney !

Is there any new's on the Norway recently. Just curious as I find this thread very interesting. Tom

[Raoul Fiebig]

Tom,

no - unfortunately I haven't heard anything since her departure from Cape Town more than three weeks ago.

Raoul;
I know that this is one of your favorite ship's so you will keep us posted.Just thought I would check though. Thank's Tom

Hello everybody,

I am happy to report that the S/S "Norway" arrived safely at Port Klang, Malaysia, at noon local time today, August 10th.

I understand that due to the lack of a free berth, the ship remains at anchor at this time.

It seems the grand old lady has escaped the breakers for now.

So far, Star Cruises has not announced their plans for her.
