Cruising Along the Mediterranean
Cruise along the Mediterranean — the sun-kissed azure sea—Can one picture a greater delight, a more glorious prospect? A trip to Europe, attractive in itself, is made doubly enjoyable by following the ever verdant, laughing shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
The Fabre Line is particularly well equipped to take you over this route and to öfter you a glorious passage amid the most favorable conditions. Its steamers are built expressly with a view to this service and embody all the comforts and appliances suggested by a long experience in this trade.
Of its Fleet of passenger steamers, the Fabre Line has several liners with three classes. They each have seven decks, two of which are sheltered promenade decks. All their installations have been carried out with impeccable taste, with the object of conveying to their passengers the fullest impression of home comfort during their stay on board.
With few exceptions, all the first-class cabins are on the outside, bright and roomy, receiving ventilation and light directly from the promenade decks, and are provided with wardrobes, running water, telephone, and table lamps.
There are, moreover, numerous private and general bathrooms, commodious writing and reading saloons, an elegant smoking room, two café balconies, and ample deck space for either exercise or rest on deck chairs in sheltered spots.
Excellent French cooking, copious, and choice menus, with free table beverages. Orchestra, moving pictures, wireless with the world’s news daily. These vessels have monthly sailings between New York, Boston, Azores, Lisbon, Palermo, Naples and Marseilles, and vice-versa.
Travelers wintering cither on the Riviera or in Italy have the choice of disembarking or embarking at Palermo, Naples or Marseilles, within easy reach of their place of sojourn. A regular service is thus assured to the Riviera and Naples and Palermo, a feature that will be appreciated by all travelers making winter tours in Southern France, Italy, and Sicily.
Intending to meet the wishes of patrons of limited means, the Fabre Line has organized a service of single-class ships, corresponding to the cheaper first-class and providing real comfort at significantly reduced rates.
The highest possible care is given on these boats, to the cooking and general service; the cabins are roomy, airy, and all outside. This service is suggested as eminently suitable for tour groups, pilgrims, and families.
These steamers run from New York to Marseilles via the Near East. They thus provide a round trip in the Eastern Mediterranean, which is sure to appeal strongly to the tourist affording a splendid journey in the south-east Mediterranean, under most comfortable conditions, and at exceedingly reasonable rates.
Every Winter, the Fabre Line organizes cruising trips with its best liners. The starting point of these cruises is New York, but due to specialized facilities, passengers visiting Europe may also embark either at Marseilles or at Naples, or in fact any of the ports of call, to join the cruising vessel before the commencement of her trip in the Eastern Mediterranean.
At all ports of call, the Company has organized excursions of most breathtaking nature and most carefully planned, which includes a delightful stay in the Holy Land and Egypt.
As a general summary, the service to the Mediterranean of the Fabre Line includes all of the principal ports — the Azores, Madeira. Lisbon, Algiers. Palermo. Messina. Naples. Monaco, Marseilles, Alexandria, Haifa, Jaffa, Beirut, Piraeus, Salonica, Constantinople, Constanza, with regular sailings to and from the United States throughout the year.
Inscriptions from Passenger
Off at last. The boat is very nice but crowded with tourists for the Holy Land. Have had several arguments in French already.
The coffee is vile but I'll get used to it. We enjoyed our visit with you all more than we can eveer tell you and the send off was perfect.
Love to all,
??? & Ben
So far -- so good. I'm still on my legs -- don't see how anybody could be seasick in this kind of weather. So one poor lady left the table very suddenly tonight.
We never could tell you what a good time we had with you all. Hope we didn't wear out our welcome. The books look awfully good - I know the're going to be ??? ??? as most of the books look French.
Tell Lucy Dent not to forget my letter -- O'll be looking for it.
Love ???
Dick, don't forget to disconnect the battery in my car, please if no one wishes to use it. BW
