When Was Ss Norway Last Sailing?

SS France was a Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT) ocean liner built by the Chantiers de lAtlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, in February 1962. The 316 m vessel was the longest passenger ship ever built and was part of the Cunard Line. The ship had made significant waves in the passenger shipping industry in the 1920s with SS Ile de France and later with SS Story.

After World War II, sea travel between Europe and America boomed for over twelve years, with over one million passengers at its height in 1958. The ship’s final voyage was from America to the UK in September 2001. In 2008, the SS Norway was cut up on a beach in India and disposed of. The last transatlantic crossing was from Miami to Southampton on September 5, 2001.

The ship’s maiden voyage was a transatlantic trip from Oslo to Miami on May 3, 1980. The ship was the first to sail from New York to Bermuda on a 6-day trip. The ship’s ownership was transferred to NCLs in 2004, and the ship’s last sailing out of Hong Kong was in 1974. The French Line had 377 voyages between 1962 and 1974, with the last sailing out of Hong Kong in 1974.

The SS Norway, which was the last sailing out of Hong Kong, was built by the Chantiers de lAtlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France. The ship’s legacy continues to be celebrated with artifacts and interiors spread around the world.
