Dear Friends,
Allow me to start a new thread concerning ships that were intended to sail, but never did so...so, here it goes:-
1) HAL - never build project
2) QUEEN VICTORIA ( 1) - presently P & O's ARCADIA
3) QUEEN ELIZABETH 3
4) POLARIS - Polaris Cruise Line Sweden
5) NCL - never build project...
Other projects are welcome.......just tell us!!!
No.4 (the POLARIS) was the -at that time- AQUAMARINE. She was supposed to be sold to Polaris Cruises but apparently the deal felt through...
Back in 1991, a new firm named Swedish American Cruises, ordered a 12,000 grt (150 x 21.1 m) vessel at C.N.Ferrari to place them in the incentive & conference travel business.
The plans were soon cancelled.

And went to Epirotiki instead, becoming their Odysseus!!

2) CUNARD LINES 60-70'S - QUEEN ELIZABETH III project 1 and 2
PROJECT 1
65495
I guess that the mast also acted as something like a funnel? Don't like it.
The lines of the after part resembles the ones of QE2 while the funnel looks like the one of the 1959 Rotterdam...
PROJECT 2
65494
65496
65497
A bit more conventional than Project 1. Really don't like that huge mast/funnel. The forward superstructure reminds me of CANBERRA, while the rest of the lines are more close to SAGAFJORD's.
Again some more ships that never cruises:

Royal Venture Cruise Line was an interesting venture that the Greek-American Takis Kyriakides tried to start in 1995/6. Initially he wanted to charter CTC's Gruziya (http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/gruziya_1975.htm)as his Royal Venture, then Ukraina (http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/kazakhstan_1976.htm) as Sea Venture and finally Lelakis' defunct Regent Sun as his Sun Venture.
Kyriakides was also the person that owned the never-completed SEA VENTURE back in 1992, as well as the TROPICANA (ex-PRINCES PAOLA).
He also run the VASCO DA GAMA/SEAWIND CROWN for a time.
Great thread! Attached is a rendering of the SEA AMERICA project. These were meant to be 2 US-flag cruise ships for the business conference biz. Never built (unfortunately).
Welcome aboard rd77!
When was this project run?
Hi Ellinis,
I believe this project was worked on around the year 2000. After the 9/11 attacks, it disappeared from the radar.
Brgds.

from the german news paper WESER KURIER
a project from the NDL.

Very very interesting design! Never heard of it before. It didn't make the book "Damned by destiny" for sure. I really like the alternative design!
