Built in Denmark in 1955 the M.S. Meteor began sailing under Norwegian Bergen Line colors, mostly Northern European cruises, including Baltic countries and New Zealand. Also, liner cruises along the western coast of Norway. While on an Alaska cruise from Vancouver in 1971, she caught fire and was badly damaged. About a dozen people lost their lives. The Meteor was subsequently declared a total loss and sold to the Greek line Epirotiki, who then rebuilt the ship and sailed her under the name M.S. Neptune. She was eventually scrapped in 2002.
