MS Gripsholm was a Swedish ocean liner and cruise ship operated by the Swedish American Line. Launched in 1957, the ship mainly operated transatlantic crossings between Gothenburg and New York City. It was known for its luxurious accommodations and high-quality service, catering to both passengers and cargo. During the summer months, the Gripsholm was used for cruise trips to various destinations, offering a unique blend of comfort and style. The ship also played a significant role in repatriating prisoners of war and civilians during World War II. In the post-war period, it resumed its service as a passenger liner, providing a comfortable and safe journey for travelers across the Atlantic. The MS Gripsholm was eventually sold to a Greek company in 1975 and renamed MS Navarino, ending its tenure with the Swedish American Line.
