This is a beautifully detailed model made by the highly regarded maker Ostrowski has been long out of production. The Song of America was delivered from Wartsila in Helsinki in 1982. Song of America was larger than her predecessors, at 37584 gross tons and 1414 berths (1575 maximum). She pioneered a layout where cabin decks were stacked at the front of the ship, furthest from the engines, with public rooms further aft. Although common on large car ferries, this layout has not been repeated much on cruise ships. The Sky Lounge was even more prominent than before, completely encircling the funnel. Song of America initially operated the company’s busiest 7-day itinerary from Miami to Nassau, San Juan and St Thomas. Displaced by larger tonnage, she was sold to Airtours, becoming their Sunbird in 1999. Unlike previous sales to Airtours, the Sky Lounge was not removed.
