Vistafjord

MS Vistafjord was an ocean liner that was built as a combined liner/cruise ship in 1973 by Swan Hunter, England[5] for the Norwegian America Line.

Her owners went bankrupt, and in April 2017 she arrived at Alang Ship Breaking Yard, India for scrapping.

[6] Vistafjord was ordered by Norwegian America Line (NAL) from Swan Hunter, Newcastle, England.

[1] She was based on the company's 1965-built MS Sagafjord, but with an enlarged hull, additional superstructure deck and improved interior layout.

[7] However, as the cost of building Sagafjord had put her builders, Forges et Chantiers de la Mediterranee, out of business, Vistafjord had to be built at a different shipyard.

[18] In January 2014 she was sold for $14M USD to Millennium View, a privately held company based in Singapore.

Vistafjord was built with a very traditional ocean liner profile,[4] with the funnel placed amidship and a notable sheer on her hull.

In two refits during her Cunard Line career additional structures were added to the rear and top of the superstructure.

[10] In Norwegian America Line service Vistafjord carried the traditional NAL livery, with a grey hull, white superstructure, yellow mast and a yellow funnel with red, white and blue (colours of the flag of Norway) stripes.
