The Île de France was a French ocean liner that was built in the 1920s for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (French Line) to operate on the transatlantic route between France and the United States. It was launched in 1926 and entered service the following year.
The ship was known for its luxurious accommodations and elegant Art Deco interiors, designed by renowned French interior designers and artists. It quickly became popular among both celebrities and affluent travelers, including members of royalty and Hollywood stars.
During World War II, the Île de France was used as a troopship and hospital ship by the British Royal Navy. After the war, it was returned to its original owners and underwent a major renovation to restore its pre-war splendor.
The Île de France continued to operate as a luxury liner until the 1950s, when it began to face competition from newer and larger ships. It was eventually retired from service in 1959 and sold for scrap in 1960.
Despite its relatively short service life, the Île de France remains a legendary and iconic ship in the history of transatlantic ocean travel, known for its elegance, comfort, and sophistication.
