Just an outstanding item for the lovely yacht like Oslofjord. She is certainly my favorite NAL vessel … her design and lines were just outstanding. All the information you could want is inside … 60 pages of Plans, Machinery info, building pictures, interior picture and info … the list goes on and on…Lovely period ads dedicated to the ship as well cover another 40 pages or so! You will not be disappointed. The is a little wear to the cover including a 1″ tear.

Awesome paperweight for the last Kungsholm! I believe this to be crystal .. it is way too heavy to just be glass.

NAL’s answer to cruising in the mid 60’s the Sagafjord. She was a splendid ship with live for Cunard and others after NAL sold off thier cruise interests She was retired from service not too long ago, another victim of SOLAS regulations. Complete deck … barely used from what I can tell
