An 18-Panel Brochure from the Norwegian America Line, developed by their New York office to promote tourism to Norway, profusely illustrated with many photographs of the ships and accommodations for first, second, and third-class passengers.

THE NORWEGIAN AMERICA LINE maintains regular sailings between New York and the principal ports of Norway—Bergen, Stavanger, Kristiansand, and Kristiania (Oslo) by fast, modern passenger steamers.

On the May and June sailings eastbound and August, September and October sailings westbound the steamers carry first, second and third-class passengers.

On sailings, during the balance of the year, the first and second class are combined into one class, designated "CABIN," attractive to patrons desiring comfortable accommodations at a moderate cost.

Passengers booking to Kristiania or beyond havè the option on arrival at Bergen (first port of call) to travel by the beautiful scenic Bergen-Kristiania Railway (tickets available for tourists for three months and trains leave morning and evening, arriving at Kristiana in 14 hours,—evening trains carry comfortable sleepers) or by the Line's steamers via coast route, mostly in the smooth waterway between the mainland and the innumerable islands of the "Skjærgaard," with interesting brief stops at Stavanger and Kristiansand.

The trip up the "Kristianiafjord" to Kristiania is renowned for its delightful scenery.

Travelers intending to take the fascinating "Fjord Trips," "North Cape" or "Spitzbergen" Cruises will find convenient connections at Bergen. Steamers leave Bergen daily for the "Fjords" and trips can be made in two to six days according to the selection of itinerary.

The "North Cape" cruises take about two weeks and the sailings are arranged by the "Bergenske Dampskibsselskabs" splendid cruising steamer "Irma" for June and July.

Trains leave Kristiania daily for Sweden, Denmark, and Germany (to Germany via Trelleborg-Sassnitz or via Gjedser-Warnemünde).

Steamer service is also maintained between Bergen and Hamburg direct, and passengers booked to Hamburg by Norwegian America Line steamers, who wish to connect with this service are furnished transportation and allowed transfer and hotel expenses at the Line's hotel in Bergen while waiting for connecting steamship.

The dining rooms are furnished with small tables, and patrons are assured of unrivaled cuisine and efficient service.

Wide promenades and attractive verandahs contribute in no small measure to passengers' comfort.

THE FIRST AND SECOND CLASS lounges, smoking rooms, reading, and writing rooms are spacious, artistically decorated and handsomely appointed.

THE CABINS DELUXE, located on the promenade deck, comprises sitting room, bedroom, and private bath, and all staterooms are spacious, well lighted and perfectly ventilated.

THE THIRD CLASS ACCOMMODATIONS—lining rooms, ladies' rooms, smoking rooms, staterooms, and bathrooms are equipped with modern innovations for comfort and convenience and are deservedly popular.

Deck entertainments and motion pictures are provided during the voyage.

Further information respecting sailings, rates, booklets, etc., will be gladly furnished on application to the General Agencies or to the local agents.
