Which Peace Boat is this? Her name is Pacific Clipper and I took this Photo in Istanbul.
Here is another image of her. Sorry about the low quality, but I was quite far away.

Soundsailor, the PACIFIC CLIPPER was employed as the Peaceboat between THE TOPAZ and MONA LISA.

Thankyou for your comments and contributions. NYK finished its refurbishment of HIKAWA MARU last year, and must have spent a lot of money. Nicely repainted inside and outside, and a lot of restoration work in the lounges, dining room and outside decks. Much of the ship is now carpeted, which was not the case when built! Emphasis is now on the art deco, which is probably original. Entry fee now only Y200 ($2). Will try to post some photos in the next few days.

Beautiful photos, Ocean liners. Fancy catching OCEANIC too!
She has been there since the 9th April 2009 so it could be for some more repairs of maybe they have a ship breakers yard there !.
Its not clear what Clipper will do with the Song of Norway because she needs lots of repairs.
Peace Boat is lucky to have the Oceanic. They say she will sail for a minimum of 3 years under charter but they did not saw who actually owns the Oceanic.
Anyone who can take pictures either higher resolution digital or print film for me in Yokohama please contact me privately.
I am also looking for old pictures of her during her Home Lines or Premier or even Pullmantur days.
Also looking for souvenir slides Home Lines sold aboard the ship if anyone has them in their collection
Contact me via private messages or at sstraveler at aol dot com.
THANKS!

This summer, I have an internship set up with Maersk Line. If I end up on the Pacific run, and make a stop to Yokohama, I am definitely going to visit her.

Perhaps she is only chartered and not sold !
