- This page
is a postcard history of the Atlantic, built for Home Lines and still in service
with the Mediterranean
Shipping Cruises
fleet.
-
- The Atlantic joined the Oceanic in 1981, replacing the
Doric which had been owned
since 1971. She was sold to Premier Cruises in 1988, shortly after Home Lines were bought by Holland
America Line,
joining her former running mate Oceanic as the Starship Atlantic. She was sold again in 1996, becoming
the Melody for MSC.
