MS Deutschland is a German-registered cruise ship owned and operated by Peter Deilmann Cruises. She is decorated in the Art Deco style made famous by such classic ocean liners as the SS Ile de France and SS Normandie. The Deutschland was launched in 1998 by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft AG (HDW) in Kiel. She carries 513 passengers and 260 crew members. She has a gross tonnage of 22,400 and has seven passenger accessible decks.

The German television show Das Traumschiff (The Dream Ship), which is similar to the US-made show The Love Boat, is set aboard the Deutschland.

Up to now, Deutschland travelled three times around the world. In the summer months the ship start journeys from a German base port (eg, Kiel, Lübeck, Travemünde and Hamburg) to the Norwegian fjords and the Baltic Sea. While she spends the spring and fall usually in the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands, mostly targets such as Asia, Africa and the Caribbean are offered during winter in Europe.

The German Olympic Committee used the Deutschland as a hospitality ship during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
