With the Tang of Salt in the Breeze

Unsurpassed anywhere for glorious days and nights of rest and relaxation is life on board an ocean liner. In Tourist Class, on Cunard White Star ships, your days may be spent on broad open decks in the clean sea breeze, in bracing games or promenades for your constitutionals.

Or. if you prefer, you may luxuriate in a deck chair with a book from your liner's well-stocked library, enjoying the delightful customs of morning bouillon and afternoon tea. A turn about the deck before each mealtime will stimulate such an appetite that only the excellent cuisine of Cunard White Star can assuage it.

In Tourist Class, in the evenings, the newest motion pictures may be viewed in modern theatres. There is music for concerts and dancing, bingo and bridge, and infinite planned diversions to fill any idle hour.

But best of all on shipboard, on the decks, in the lounges, theft is the congeniality and good fellowship which makes ocean travel so utterly exhilarating and enjoyable.
