S.S. Victoria Luise 1911

Now I present to you the S.S. Victoria Luise from the german Hamburg - America Line. She was the former speed liner S.S. Deutschland which was converted from 1910 to 1911 in the biggest first class only cruise ship of her time.

It have a full explorable interior to walk through and you can find a lot of interior and exterior differences to the S.S. Deutschland I built before.

Special thanks to:

In 1910, Hamburg America withdrew Deutschland from
transatlantic service and converted her to a dedicated cruise ship — one
of the first liners of the 20th century to operate as such. Her
original engines were derated as a high service speed was no longer
needed. At the same time, the exterior of the ship was repainted in all
white and her passenger capacity was also reduced to only 500
first-class passengers. She was also given a new name, Viktoria Luise. She replaced their first purpose-built cruise ship of similar name (Prinzessin Victoria Luise) that ran aground and was destroyed off the coast of Jamaica in 1906.


On 8 June 1914, Vitoria Luise ran aground in the Elbe and developed a list. Her engine rooms flooded. She was later refloated,^[5] repaired, and returned to service.
