RMS Caronia was one of the first ships to be purpose built for the role of transatlantic crossings, soon becoming one of the most important ships in the post-war British Merchant Navy. She had a profitable and illustrious career with Cunard, spanning nearly twenty years. Painted in a pale green livery the Caronia became know as the 'Green Goddess' while her Art Deco interiors and high crew to passenger ratio earned her a reputation for luxury cruising.
