Norwegian America Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norwegian America Line (Den Norske Amerikalinje), was a cruise ship line, originally an operator of passenger and cargo ships.
Founded in 1910, the company ran regular transatlantic service between Norway and the United States, and later to East Africa as well.
The establishment of the Norwegian America Line might be perceived as the statement of "maritime independence", following the dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden in 1905.
Primarily due to competition from air travel, transatlantic passenger voyages were discontinued in 1971.
