MS Deutschland is a German-registered cruise ship owned and operated by Peter Deilmann Cruises. She decorated in the Art Deco style made famous by such classic ocean liners as the SS Ile de France and SS Normandie. The Deutschland was launched in 1998. She carries 513 passengers and 260 crew members. She has a gross tonnage (GT) of 22,400 tons and has seven passenger accessible decks.[2]

The German television show Das Traumschiff (The Dream Ship), which was similar 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.[3][4]
