The SS Île de France was a French ocean liner that operated from 1926 to 1959. It was one of the most famous and luxurious liners of its time, known for its elegant Art Deco interiors and high-quality service. The ship was built by the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in France and primarily operated transatlantic voyages between France and New York City. During World War II, the Île de France served as a troopship for the Allied forces. After the war, it was refurbished and resumed its passenger services. The ship was retired in 1959 and eventually scrapped in 1960. The SS Île de France played a significant role in the history of ocean travel, setting standards for luxury and comfort that influenced the design of future liners.
