Originally the passenger liner FERDINAND DE LESSEPS of Messageries Maritimes, for service between Marseille and Mauritius (via De Lesseps’ Suez Canal). Sold and converted for cruising as DELPHI in 1969. Became LA PERLA in 1977

Thanks Tony, good to know that you like the photo and yes, she was a good-looking ship too.

Clive, good looking cruise ship. Very nice photo.
