The Ocean Countess and her sister Mano Cruises' Golden Iris (ex-Cunard Conquest, Cunard Princess, Rhapsody) belong to the category "ships I like because I think they look great even though I have no idea what it's like to travel on them". Maybe I should go onboard one day and try one of them out.

| They knew how to design ship's exteriors in the 1970s. |
