Favored today by those who cross the Atlantic for pleasure and for business, the Scandinavian-American Line -- the descriptive name under which the company operates its passenger service between the United States and the Scandinavian countries, typifies everything that makes ocean travel a delight.

By any of these exceedingly popular steamers, passengers can reach the Scandinavian countries and neighboring Baltic ports with unrivaled ease and convenience.
