The MS Pacific, a cruise ship made famous by its appearance in the popular U.S. 1970s television show "The Love Boat," has sailed its final voyage to a ship-breaking yard on Turkey’s Aegean Sea coast, a shipping group said on Wednesday.

一家航運集團週三表示，憑藉曾在頗受歡迎的1970年代美國電視影集「愛之船」中亮相而名噪一時的郵輪「MS太平洋號」，已展開其最後旅程，前往位於土耳其愛琴海岸的一家拆船廠。

Called the Pacific Princess when it was on the long-running comedy, the iconic 13,500-tonne, 171-m-long vessel will be stripped for its metal and parts, said Ersin Ceviker of the Ship Recyclers’ Association of Turkey.

這艘在這齣長壽喜劇中被稱為「太平洋公主號」的指標性郵輪，重13500公噸、長171公尺，將會被拆解以取得金屬與零件，土耳其「船隻回收協會」的切維克說。

Aaron Spelling’s "The Love Boat," starring Gavin MacLeod as the ship’s captain, ran on the U.S. television network ABC from 1977 to 1986. The show was set on board the Pacific Princess, which mainly sailed from California to the Mexican Riveria.
