The Paraguas Line cruise ship "Queen Zenobia" (flagship) was constructed in 1978. The golden age of cruise ships.
The interior, harkening back to the 1930s, was based on proposed layout design plans left behind by the architect George Trevor prior to his disappearance, and newspaper articles at the time of its construction wrote of it fascinating many.
The ship's name "Zenobia" was dubbed after the beautiful Queen of ancient Palmyra who fought and was defeated by Rome, and it became one of the most popular cruise ships of the 20th century, known as the "Queen of the Atlantic."
For a time, long-distance passenger cruise ships slumped due to the growth of airlines, but in the late 80s, the Queen Zenobia and its sister ships were purchased by Paraguas Line, who converted its motive power from steam turbines to electric-diesel propulsion, carrying out massive remodeling construction, including building hold and cabin extensions, resurrecting her as a luxury cruise liner with state-of-the-art facilities.
Since its remodeling, it has made numerous round-the-world voyages, sailed around South America countless times, and in recent years has been based in the Mediterranean Sea and put into service making round trips of African nations, offering joy and pleasure to many guests at sea each year.

パラグアス・ライン社の客船、"クイーン・ゼノビア"（フラッグシップ）は1978年建造。客船黄金時代である。
1930年代を思わせるその内装は、建築家ジョージ・トレヴァー氏が失踪前に残した設計デザイン案を基にしており、建造当時には多くの人々が魅了された、と新聞記事に記されております。
船名である"ゼノビア"は、ローマと戦って敗れた古代パルミラの美しき女王の名前を冠し、20世紀の客船の中でも"大西洋の美女王"と称されるほどの人気を博しました。
航空路線の発展により遠洋航海客船が低迷し一時は廃船の危機も囁かれたのですが、80年代後半に姉妹船と共にパラグアス・ライン社に買い取られ、動力を蒸気タービンからディーゼル電気推進に換装、船倉やキャビン増設工事も施工する大改装工事が行われ、最新鋭の設備を有するクルーズ豪華船へと生まれ変わりました。
改装後は、世界一周航海、南米一周航海などを幾度となく行い、近年では地中海を拠点にアフリカ各国を周遊する航路に就航しており毎年たくさんのお客様に海の楽しさと幸せを提供しております。

HISTORY OF THE QUEEN ZENOBIA
Tonnage: 148,000 gross tons
Displacement: 90,000 tons
Length: 335.8 m
Beam: 52.3 m
Height: 93.97 m
Propulsion: Electric diesel propulsion
Crew: 1094 officers and crew
Passengers: 2200
This Paraguas Line flag ship was constructed in 1978. The interior is designed to replicate that of ships of the 1930s, the "golden age of cruise ships." The design was based on blueprints left by George Trevor before his disappearance. Newspapers from the time of the ship's construction report accolades the design received.
The ship herself is named after Zenobia, the queen of the Palmyrene Empire who was deposed by the Romans. Like the legendary beauty of her namesake, this ship is also known as "The Beauty of the Atlantic," and remained one of the most popular cruise ships built in the 20th century.
With the rise of air travel supplanting the popularity of long, sea-faring voyages, it looked like the Queen Zenobia, along with her sister ship, was destined to be junked in the late 80s.
Fortunately, she was purchased by the Paraguas Line and her steam turbines were replaced with an electric diesel propulsion system. Her hold and cabin areas were expanded, and she was upgraded with the latest technology. The Queen Zenobia was reborn as a fully functional luxury liner.
After its restoration, the Queen Zenobia set out on a cruise around the world, followed by one around South America, and many, many others. In the future, she will find her main harbor in the Mediterranean for her cruises around Africa. The Queen Zenobia will be bringing pleasure to passengers for years to come.
