The Mediterranean

The very sound of the Mediterranean holds a magic power which recalls to the mind radiant visions of sunny lands. Natural beauties, art, history and poetry play so large a part in the enchanting shores of the Mediterranean that the traveler is attracted there by an irresistible force. For this is the cradle of civilization.

No other service enables one to combine complete restfulness with a constant change of scene. Here you have the joy of covering many miles with no bothers and fatigues of catching trains, packing and unpacking.

For those who love the sea, who revel in the tang of salt air, these voyages offer a delightful opportunity to visit at leisure most of the ports on the Mediterranean. These indescribably picturesque countries preserve all the native brilliance, pomp and grandeur which have characterized them through the ages.

To describe all the places of interest to be found in the countries lying on the scenic shores of the Mediterranean would require many more pages than we have available. We cannot but touch lightly upon the more important things to see. They are listed as an aid to travelers who are in doubt as to what places to visit.

So that you may adequately see all that these countries offer, stopovers can be arranged at all our regular ports of call. While the validity of a cruise ticket is one year, this period will be extended upon request. You are thus able to devote as much time as you wish to touring abroad. While in port the steamer serves as hotel to all cruise Passengers.

The passenger accommodations on our steamers are all of one class, affording an atmosphere of particular ease and freedom, and include many original and distinctive features.
For those who have been contemplating a trip to the Land of the Pharaohs, this cruise offers the only direct and inexpensive service.

Egypt is the world's most popular international resort. Its climate is very mild and dry and its scenery fascinating to the thousands of visitors who come each season to view in real comfort the never to be forgotten "Land of the Nile." Cairo, a short distance from Alexandria, boasts of the most complete Egyptian Museum wherein are housed many wonderful things found in the Tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen, the Citadel, the Mosque of Mohammed Ali, the Tombs of the Caliphs and the famous Mousky, a romantic street crowded with bargain bazaars.

The Sphinx and the Great Pyramids of Ghizeh and Sakkara can be easily reached by comfortable busses or private cars. Heliopolis, the new city within the old, is only twenty-five minutes ride from Cairo. Luxor is four hundred and fifty miles from Cairo. The distance is covered by luxuriously appointed trains in only thirteen hours. Karnak, the greatest temple the world has ever known, with the exception of the Pyramids, is nearby. The thirty-five hundred year old Tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen was discovered there by Lord Carnarvon.

The Holy Land, only an overnight trip from Cairo, can be reached by night trains. The life of Jerusalem is almost unchanged since the days of Christ. Here you can visit the places of the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Calvary, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Tomb of the Virgin. After seeing the Holy Land you may join our steamer at Jaffa, Haifa or at Beirut. While at Beirut visit the American University and drive to Baalbek to see its wonderful ruins, or to Damascus and stroll through the quaint old Street called Straight.
