Welcome to our Independence website celebrating this remarkable ship. She and her sister ship Constitution were synonymous with modern passenger ship designs and the post Second World War heyday of transatlantic travel. Ushering in the 1950s, they became a symbol of American passenger shipping dashing along the “Sunny Southern Route” between New York and Genoa, Italy. After the arrival of the jet airliner age, the Independence and her sister successfully adapted and became well loved cruise ships.
