Sundream

The former Song of Norway has been sold for scrap in China, ending a long career which began in 1970 when she was built in Helsinki as Royal Caribbean International's first ship. Since then she has had quite a few names: Sundream, Dream Princess, Dream, Clipper Pearl, Clipper Pacific, Festival, Ocean Pearl and, her final name, Formosa Queen. I saw her, as Sundream, during the summers of 2003 and 2004, when she visited Southampton.

Here are some photos from then, which are all scanned prints. She's seen passing Calshot on 31st August 2003
