The Song of America was a pioneering Royal Caribbean cruise ship launched in 1982, famously known for being the first to feature the signature encircling Viking Crown Lounge. It operated for Royal Caribbean for 17 years before being sold, subsequently operating under various names before arriving at an Alang, India scrapyard in early 2025
