Completed as one of the most luxurious liners in American flag service, this lovely ship featured all outside cabins with private facilities, complete air-conditioning and professional entertainment, promising "unhurried leisure at its very best". Operating line voyages from New York to Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina, there were also frequent cruises in winter with some sailings from Port Everglades each year. With sister ship Brasil, it was aimed at the upper-end of the cruise trade, but alas they were money-losers. Laid up in 1969, sold to Holland America Line as Veendam, later Monarch Star, Bermuda Star and Enchanted Isle.
