This slide is unmarked but it is thought to be the ex Compagnie Maritime des Chargeurs Reunis Lavoisier which was rebuilt by the Italian cruise company Commerciale Marittima Petroli of Palermo in 1961, as the Riviera Prima; later sold to Berge Sigval Bergesen of Norway and renamed The Viking Princess.
