A CHINESE scrap metal yard has purchased
the 22,945-tonne Formosa Queen, once known
as the Song of Norway – the very first cruise
passenger ship operated by Royal Caribbean
when the line first commenced in 1970.
The vessel was the first of three used by the
line to begin operations and has gone through
a number of changes in ownership since being
taken out of service by RCCL in the mid 1990s.
