Comments:
A cruise ship of classic beauty whose passenger list included mostly Americans. Built 1927 at Götaverken, Göteborg (Gothenburg) for "Det Bergenske Damskipsselskap". She served at what today is called "Hurtigruten" along the fjords in Norway.  Owned by Clipper Line from 1952 to 1969 when she was sold to Japan to serve as a floating hotel.

No shiplover can forget the STELLA POLARIS. She was built for Norwegian Coastal Voyage, and classic beauty that she is, resides majestic and preserved as the Hotel Scandinavia in Japan.
