Looking for any information on a ship from the 1960's called the "Seven Seas"?

Question

In 1965 we came to Canada from New Zealand on a ship called "Seven Seas" I'm sure it was a German or Dutch ship. And was taken out of service in the late 1960's

Answer 1

Is there a way you can be a little more specific?

I have looked at several ship name registries and can find no ship from that time period with that name.

I wish I could help, but so far, no luck!

**Update**

I did find this website that may shed some light for you.....hopefully it helps!

Answer 2

http://www.timetableimages.com/maritime/... shows a nice picture of the Seven Seas and some pictures of the tourist class library and writing room.

I returned from France on the Seven Seas in 1957 and thought we would never make it; bad storm.  I landed in
