At approximately 12:30 on 23 May 2010 whilst in the Norwegian port of [[Eidfjord]], Norway, a fire was detected in the engine room. On board were at that time 607 (or 608) people, including 364 passengers. All passengers and most of the crew and two Norwegian pilots were unhurt removed from the ship, only a small part of the crew remained on board. The fire was isolated to a limited area of the ship because of fire doors. The ship's 364 passengers travelled home. MS ''Deutschland'' was then towed by [[tug]] boats to the [[Blohm + Voss]] shipyard in Hamburg for docking and repair, where the ship remained in the shipyard for thirty days. The fire damage had cost approximately two million euro and was paid by the ship's insurers. Three trips had been cancelled and service resumed on July 3, 2010 with a departure from Hamburg.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cruiselawnews.com/tags/peter-deilmann-cruises/|title=peter deilmann cruises|website=Cruise Law News}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bt.no/nyheter/lokalt/Brann-i-cruiseskip-1089302.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-05-23 | |

MSDeutschland (starting in 2015 also sailing as World Odyssey from September until April each year) is a cruise ship launched in 1998 and owned and operated by Peter Deilmann Cruises until 2015. She is decorated in the 1920s style as it could be seen in SS ColumbusofNorddeutscher Lloyd. The ship carries 513 passengers and 260 crew members. She has a gross tonnage of 22,400 and has seven passenger accessible decks.[3]
The German television show Das Traumschiff ("The Dream Ship"), had been filmed on board for fifteen years as the MS Deutschland travels to tourist destinations around the world.
In 2000, Air France Flight 4590 crashed near Paris. The New York City-bound Concorde charter flight had been carrying passengers for a sixteen-day cruise to South America on board MS Deutschland.[4][5]
During the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, the German Olympic Committee used the MS Deutschland as a hospitality ship.[6]
On 19 May 2015 the MS Deutschland was sold over to the Absolute Nevada company based in the United States, which purchased the ship for approximately $21 million. The new owners took on approximately half of the crew.[clarification needed] Initially the ship was planned to serve as a floating university for the American organization Semester at Sea and in the process was reflagged to Nassau in the Bahamas. It was proposed that the ship would be renamed World Odyssey following a refit at a northern European shipyard.[7]
On 31 May 2015, Plantours announced that they would be chartering the ship for four sailings between 9 June 2015 and 29 July 2015 whilst its usual ship MSHamburg was repaired. The crew of MS Hamburg travelled to Gibraltar to prepare the ship, before guests embarked on 9 June 2015 in Kiel. Places in the additional 80 cabins were made as a result of MS Deutschland being larger than planned MSHamburg ship. It was on this occasion that MS Deutschland began sailing under the Bahamas flag, and its funnel was painted into Plantours yellow branding.[8]
From 20 June 2015 to 10 August 2015 the ship carried cruise tours to the North Sea, Norwegian Fjords, Svalbard, Greenland, the Faroes and Shetland Islands and to Hamburg city before ending in Kiel.[9]
On 27 July 2015 the new owners of ship announced that the ship would alternate between two roles. For part of the year the ship would travel as World Odyssey transporting "Semester at Sea" students; and for the other part of the year it would be chartered to the German cruise company Phoenix Reisen, sailing under its traditional MS Deutschland name. For this period the ship would carry two names, one for winter, other for summer.[10][11]
