This was my first thought but looking closely at the mountains I think they are too arid and not green enough for Norway, so maybe northern Greece or the Dalmatioan coast? Anyway it does'nt matter its still a beautiful photo of her.
Cheers
Henry.

I spoted this beautiful picture of the ship from the 60's as Regina (before the purchase of Regina Magna from Chandris) and I thought that other fans of Chandris ships would enjoy as well. Beautiful bow...

Perfect picture QAM, she always looked very elegant in Chandris colours.
Her interiors were also very tastefully done with many spacious public rooms and twin swimming pools aft. This vessel and the Romanza were my two favourite Chandris ships of the time.
Thanks for pointing this lovely photo out
Henry.
Ellinis, I'm not sure that that picture was taken in Norway, the vegetation on the shore looks more like the kind of stuff you can find in the Med to me (the fjords tend to have small pine trees on the shore).
I agree with you Henry that Regina and Romanza (minus the box under the bridge) were among the most beautiful Chandris ships. I would add one more: Amerikanis.

Henry, here is another shot of the REGINA PRIMA taken a few moments before the one you uploaded.
It seems that the photographer was the Portuguese shiplover Luis Correira.

Nice postcard of Regina from Ebay. Grab it soon!

Μια φωτογραφία του REGINA PRIMA στους πάγους της Ανταρκτικής μου κίνησε το ενδιαφέρον... τι δουλειά είχε ένα πλοία του Χανδρή εκεί και μάλιστα χωρίς το γνώριμο "Χ" στο φουγάρο του;
Με λίγο ψάξιμο βρήκα οτι το REGINA PRIMA είχε ναυλωθεί τους χειμώνες του 1974/75 και 75/76 στην Empresa Lineas Maritimas Argentinas και έκανε κρουαζιέρες από το Μπουένος Αϊρες στην Ανταρκτική. Πρέπει να ήταν το πρώτο Ελληνικό κρουαζιερόπλοιο που έφτασε στις ακτές του Νότιου Πόλου.

Interesting bit of research Aris. It would be great to find a close up photo of her in this unusual livery!
Many thanks, Henry.
