Although the author has worked and been involved in the passenger shipping industry for well over 60 years, but due to his old age and poor health, he was forced to retire. Yet, he has completed well over 1,435 Classic Liners, Passenger-Cargo Liners as well as humble converted C3 converted Migrant Liners, which has transported countless thousands of folk to the new world, as well on vacations’. I trust the features online will continue to provide Classic Liner and Ship enthusiasts both the information they are seeking, but more so provide a great deal of pleasure and relive many happy memories!

This Three Page feature covers one of the most famous and intimate luxury cruise ships, which was known as being more of “A glamorous Royal Yacht”. I will extensively cover the graceful Motor Yacht Stella Polaris’ history from construction to her final days. However, if you have arrived to this page via a search engine, please first visit “Stella Polaris” Page One.

Clipper Line:

On October 23, 1951 the Bergen Line sold the M.Y. Stella Pilaris to a Mr. “Einar Hansen” of Malmö, Sweden. Mr. Hansen was the owner of a newly established cruise company named “Rederi Ab Clipper”, or as it is better known as the “Clipper Line”, and she was obtained for her to operate cruises in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean the Baltic Sea and her previous annual World Circumnavigation Voyages.

Thus the company sent her to builders, the Gotaverken’s shipyards for an extensive refit and modernization and he installation of a swimming pool.
