The former Lavoisier of Chargeurs Reunis was built for France to Argentina service. She was rebuilt in 1961 as the luxurious cruise ship Riviera Prima. A new stern lido deck was added, all cabins were given private bathrooms and she was fully air-conditioned. She was sold in 1964 and renamed Viking Princess, but caught fire and had to be abandoned off Jamaica in 1966.
