January 1926 brochure contained second-class rates for the Red Star Line steamships Belgenland and Lapland for routes between New York and Antwerp. It includes European Rail and Steamer Fares and interior and exterior photographs for both ships.

With the advent of the new 27,200 ton BELGENLAND, the Red Star Line has placed the most prominent and largest steamship in the Antwerp trade.

Antwerp has long been known as the “GATEWAY TO THE CONTINENT,” primarily due to its frequent and comfortable railroad facilities to every important city in Europe.

This large steamer is the last word in modern shipbuilding, and every possible consideration for the comfort and safety of passengers has been embodied in her structure.

The “BELGENLAND” has in her second class accommodations a large veranda cafe, elegant smoke room, well-equipped gymnasium, children’s playroom, an attractive lounge, and a library well stocked with a full assortment of books.

Every thought possible has been given to comfort and enjoyment, to assure the traveler in the second class of a pleasant voyage.

Together with the new mammoth “BELGENLAND,” is the ever-popular “LAPLAND,” whose reputation and popularity among travelers is well-known for its excellent service and unsurpassed cuisine.

The “LAPLAND’S” accommodations have been thoroughly reconditioned for the 1925 trade.

Associated with the “LAPLAND” and “BELGENLAND” in the New York-Antwerp weekly service, calling eastbound at Plymouth and Cherbourg, and westbound at Southampton and Cherbourg is the palatial one class steamer “PITTSBURGH” which is just entering in the New York-Antwerp run.

This steamer is the latest word in cabin-class carriers, affording the maximum traveler comfort at a minimum of cost.

The well known, “ZEELAND” will, of course, maintain her regular schedule in this service and too much can not be said of this ever-popular steamer.
