The SS Ile-De-France, one of the first large ocean liners built after World War I, captured the hearts of younger, modern travelers. Though her exterior was not revolutionary, her interiors shone with stunning Art Deco design. After serving as a troop transport during World War II, she underwent an extensive rebuild, including the removal of her third dummy funnel and the replacement of the remaining two with streamlined versions, giving her a refreshed look. The SS Ile-De-France continued to offer luxurious transatlantic voyages until her retirement in 1959. Her legacy endures as a beautiful example of Art Deco design and a testament to the era’s innovation and artistic craftsmanship.
