This is a beautifully detailed model made by the highly regarded maker Degen has been long out of production. SS Oceanic was built by Cantieri Riuniti dell’Adriatico, Monfalcone in 1962, and she was launched on January 15, 1963. Then after what was nothing short of a lengthy fitting out process she was finally delivered to Home Lines over two years later on March 1, 1965. SS Oceanic was the first purpose-built Trans Atlantic liner for Home Lines and she was designed as a two-class liner to operate in summer on the Homes Lines Canadian route from Cuxhaven, Le Havre, and Southampton. As built, Oceanic accommodated up to 1,600, configured as follows. 230 first class and 1,370 tourist class. First class had 8 major deluxe suites, 58 mini suites, 58 deluxe cabins, all having a lounge or lounge area. In addition, there were 20 single cabins. All of the 500 tourist class cabins had two lower beds and two upper Pullmans, accommodating 2, 3, or 4 passengers. All lower beds converted during the day to become a sofa. All cabins had private facilities. However, for cruise duties her capacity was lowered to 1,200 One Class passengers. After 21 years of service and with the ever increasing fuel costs and the arrival of newer ships, Home Line decided to sell the Oceanic, and she was sold to Premier Cruise Line in 1985.
