The Astoria departed Rotterdam earlier this week on its final voyage, heading to being scrapped in Belgium.
Last operated by Cruise & Maritime Voyages, the 1948-built former ocean liner spent the last five years docked at the Dutch port.
After being sold at auction in mid-June, the vessel left Rotterdam’s Waalhaven under tow on July 3, 2025.
Wrapping up a 77-year sailing career, the Astoria arrived at its final destination in Ghent one day later.
The ship is now set to be dismantled by the recycling specialist Galloo Gent shipyard, which acquired the vessel for just 200,000 euros.
