Part Three
SS Queen Frederica Interiors & Exteriors
Please Note: In
1960 SS Queen Frederica was given an extensive refit in
Late in 1960, the Queen Frederica received her refit, which saw her lower glazed-in Promenade Deck completely plated in by steel, which added a good number of additional new cabins. In addition her superstructure was also extended somewhat further aft.
Upon completion, there was one big change, being that she had finally dropped her past three classes and she was now a magnificent two class liner accommodating; 174 First Class and 1,005 Tourist Class passengers. Both classes offered luxurious public venues and accommodations for both classes! She was now officially registered as being 21,239 GRT (Gross Registered Tons).
