1x1 - Normandie
July 27, 2022
The Normandie was the most expensive and extravagant ocean liner ever built. A symbol of French national pride adored by the super wealthy, her designer was in fact a poor but brilliant Russian immigrant. His radical hull design made the Normandie the fastest liner on the Atlantic. But when the United States entered the Second World War, the Normandie was seized by the Americans for use as a troopship. During the hurried works to convert the luxury liner for war duties, a devastating fire broke out onboard. Was her demise in New York an accident, however, or was it Nazi sabotage?

1x3 - Andrea Doria
August 10, 2022
When the Andrea Doria entered service in 1953, the elegant and modern vessel quickly became the envy of shipping companies around the world. With her sleek lines and stylish interiors, the Italian flagship attracted the most glamorous Hollywood stars. But on her 51st voyage across the Atlantic in 1956, the Andrea Doria was nearing the American coast when she collided with another liner in fog and capsized. The terrible accident killed more than fifty people and injured many more. How could this high-tech vessel with the latest navigation equipment founder on the high seas?
1x4 - Rex
August 17, 2022
The pride of Mussolini's dictatorship, the Rex broke many records in terms of technical abilities and a new level of luxury at sea. Avoiding being turned into a troop ship and hidden in relative safety throughout WWII, why was she still attacked by the Allies?
1x5 - Cap Arcona
August 24, 2022
This German flagship doubled up in a 1942 version of the Titanic made as a propaganda film by the Nazis. But her end would be equally tragic with an even greater loss of life. Over 5000 souls would perish on board, but which country was to blame?
1x6 - America/Australis
August 31, 2022
Two of the United States' best female designers helped create this elegant vessel, which went on to become one of the longest serving liners in history. After a successful career on the North Atlantic, the America found a new lease of life carrying immigrants between Europe and Australia. But the rise and rise of the jet airliner eroded the appeal of long ocean voyages and the America fell on hard times. After changing hands many times over the following decades, the America ended her life as a dramatic wreck on the shores of the Canary Islands - a monument to the passing of the age of the ocean liners.
