BRIEF HISTORY
The SS France
was a Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT, or French
Line) ocean liner, constructed by the Chantiers de
l'Atlantique shipyard at Saint-Nazaire, France, and put into
service in February 1961. At the time of her construction in
1960 she was the longest passenger ship ever built. Her
length of 316 meters remained unchallenged until the
construction of the 345 meter RMS Queen Mary 2 in 2005. The
France was later renamed SS Norway and undertook mostly
cruises for Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL). |
