Judging from this picture that I took in Amsterdam, also in 1974 http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1772928, I would say this is also Amsterdam.

Yeah the setting doesn't really look something I remember from old pics from Rotterdam, so maybe it is Amsterdam indeed. Would make sense.

My first impression was also Amsterdam (Train/Crane track) but I don't recognise the derricks to the left, certainly not Bergen.
The vessel was a regular visitor to Amsterdam in those years, I even think the cruise started here.

Thanks for all the comments. In agreement with Jürgen Saupe, who shot the photo, I'll change the location to Amsterdam.

Thanks for sharing that picture, Wolfgang. Bremen was a really nice looking ship after the conversion from the Pasteur, but in these colours, she is even much more pretty :-) Only very few quality pictures appeared of her in full white, I bet due to her short life after her Bremen period.

Wolfgang,
I think that building to the left you mean is an offshore crane/derrick lay barge of some kind at the NDSM yard behind the Java Eiland at A`dam.

The bunker barge reads Rotterdam and RM is flying a Dutch courtesy flag.
But Amsterdam seems fine, compare:

The compliments go to Jürgen Saupe, who is convinced that the photo was taken in Bergen - in spite of the first info (Amsterdam). Maybe somebody recognizes the building in the left.

Are vessels under tow to the scrapper still insured and if so, are they insured to the value of scrap?

This picture was taken during her final season operating as a cruise ship. In the late summer of 1974 she was placed in lay-up at Perama.
Her final fate was not to be broken up. She was certainly sold to be scrapped but whilst under tow to Taiwan she sank in the Indian Ocean on 6th June 1980.

Fantastic, Wolfgang! The port is not Bergen, though. Take a close look at the stern of the bunker barge alongside her ;-)
