Prinz Ludwig was purchased by the Orient Steam Navigation Company (Orient Line) in 1921, underwent refit and was renamed Orcades. The vessel then served on the UK-Australia route until 1924. Orcades is an ancient name for the Orkney Islands.

| - Der Reichspostdampfer Prinz Ludwig (1906) wurde beim Stettiner Vulcan für den gemischten Passagier- und Fracht-Dienst des Norddeutschen Lloyd (NDL), Bremen, auf der Reichspostdampferlinie nach Ostasien gebaut. Er ersetzte dort mit der sehr ähnlichen Prinz Eitel Friedrich Schiffe der Barbarossa-Klasse. Beide Schiffe ähnelten im Aufbau den Schiffen der Feldherren-Klasse, waren jedoch etwas längere Zweischornstein-Schiffe mit zwei Masten. (de)
