Although I have had this plan for a long time, but it has taken me this long to get around to scan this October 1971 release MS Victoria’s brochure of her 1972 Spring Cruises of the Mediterranean and Europe. See the brochure cover below.
However, the plan shown on this page shows her after her 1970 refit when a number of changes were made including up on Sports Deck, where aft of the Ping Pong Room and the Gym as well as the toilets, eight new outside staterooms were added. However, I have added a partial plan of the original Sports Deck, where the original spacious Sun Deck can be seen being at its original size, during her first ten years of operation. I do have her brochure produced after her refit, for 1970-71, but the Deck Plan was not suitable for scanning, however, its cover is shown at the bottom!
Here
we see Boat Deck and the raised Sun Deck on MS Victoria from 1960
until her 1970 refit when the eight Staterooms were added

is the 1970-71 West Indies brochure offering 27 cruises,
including one Trans-Atlantic Cruise back to
