The following images are of SS NORWAY(ex- SS FRANCE - 1962)
and show her final arrival in New York prior to what was to be her deployment to the Far East.
The photographs were taken on Wednesday, September 5, 2001 as SS NORWAY called at New York
enroute from Miami on a transatlanic crossing to Europe. Later that day SS NORWAY sailed out of New York
for the what is thought to be the last time. As she arrived in Southampton at the end of her crossing NCL announced
that SS NORWAY would not go to the Far East but would in fact return to Miami and her normal Caribbean cruises.
