MS Deutschland is a German-owned cruise ship run by Peter Deilmann Cruises, decorated in the Art Deco style made famous by such classic ocean liners as the SS Normandie and SS Ile de France. Deutschland was launched in 1998. She carries 513 passengers and 260 crew members. She displaces 22,400 gross tons and has seven decks.[1]

The German television show Das Traumschiff (The Dream Ship), which was similar in plot to the US-made show The Love Boat, was set aboard the Deutschland.

Air France Flight 4590, a New York City-bound Concorde charter flight carrying passengers for the Deutschland for a 16-day cruise to South America, crashed on takeoff in Paris in 2000, killing all passengers.[2][3]
