Welcome to our Reina del Mar website celebrating this remarkable ship. She was the last passenger ship built for the Pacific Steam Navigation Company and their South American service. At the time she was the largest, fastest and only fully air-conditioned passenger liner operating a regular service between the UK, France, Spain and the west coast of South America via the Panama Canal.

In 1964 she was withdrawn from the South American service and chartered to the Travel Savings Association (TSA) and converted into a cruise ship. She was sold to Union-Castle Line in 1973 after they had taken full ownership of the TSA. She became their only cruise ship. She was finally withdrawn from service in 1975 and scrapped in Taiwan.

This website aims to record the history of this fine British ocean liner and act as a virtual home to honour and commemorate this fine ship. We hope you enjoy this website and when you leave we hope you will visit again soon.
