Pleasure Cruises
Pleasure Cruises were inaugurated by the Hamburg America Line 15 years ago, and since then, they have rapidly approached perfection through the frequent introduction of fresh itineraries and the judicious use of all newly gained experience.
The Hamburg America Line considerably extended this branch of its traffic, by commissioning two years ago, the twin-screw-steamer “ Meteor ”, which was built specially for pleasure cruises, and supplies in a manner wholly unprecedented, the demands of this new mode of traveling.
Besides this steamer the Hamburg America Line has decided to despatch two of its finest ships, the steamers “Blücher” and “Kron-prinzessin Cecilie"
The Company has lately appointed another steamer, recently added to the fleet, namely the *Oceana”, which at the beginning of the year 1906 was thorougly overhauled and reconstructed, and is to carry out this summer cruises to the north.
Furnished with such an excellent fleet, as is represented by the above named steamers, the Hamburg America Line is able to draw up a pleasure- cruise programme for 1907, which in variety surpasses the most successful undertakings of previous years.
All particulars concerning the itineraries and fares, are contained in the special pamphlets of the Hamburg America Line, which may be obtained from the information clerk or purser on board the Company's passenger-steamers.
The Hamburg America Line was founded in 1847. It owns a fleet of 158 large ocean-steamers, 205 steam-launches, tugs and lighters, aggregating together, with the ships in course of construction, 363 vessels, registering 926.493 tons. It services embrace the entire globe
The Twin-Screw S. S. “ Deutschland ” is 686 Va feet in length, 67 Va feet beam , 44 feet deep.
16.502 tons , 35.600 horse-power, 23 1/2 knots average speed.
Fastest ocean-passage westwards: 5 days, 11 hours, 54 minutes, and eastwards: 5 days 7 hours 38 minutes.
