Astoria

MS Stockholm was a passenger ship that was constructed as a transatlantic ocean liner for the Swedish American Line, and later rebuilt into a cruise ship. Stockholm is best known for the accidental collision with the Andrea Doria in July 1956, which resulted in the sinking of the Italian liner with 46 fatalities off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts.

Astoria was built in 1948. Vessels of this generation reflect the design conventions of their construction era: atrium layouts, public-room programming, balcony cabin ratios and propulsion systems all evolved measurably between the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s shipbuilding cycles.

Key reported specifications for Astoria include a gross tonnage of approximately 16,144 GT, a passenger capacity in the vicinity of 395, an overall length of approximately 160 metres.

Onboard programming on a vessel of Astoria's profile typically includes multiple dining venues, a central showroom, pool deck areas, a spa and fitness facility, themed bars, and on family-oriented brands children's and teen spaces.

Itineraries assigned to Astoria reflect the operator's seasonal deployment plan, which moves vessels between regions to follow demand and weather. Researching the ship's current and upcoming season gives the most accurate picture of where it will sail.
