Belgenland World Cruise 1925-26

LARGEST AND FINEST LINER EVER TO CIRCLE THE GLOBE

ON November 25th the Red Star Liner Belgenland sails Westward from New York on her second World Cruise of 132 days. The 475 fortunate voyagers will visit 60 cities in 14 countries throughout the world—60 cities which have been carefully chosen because of their charm and their appeal to those who would know the world —its races, customs, civilizations, beauties.

Steaming Westward—and in late Fall, in order to follow Springtime round the globe—is an all-important factor, which means that each country is visited at the season best for travel there, that Cairo is reached at the height of the Egyptian season and the Riviera in time for Spring sojourns in Europe.

Every day on the Belgenland is a delight. Teas, card parties, concerts, lectures, amateur theatricals, dances, swimming, recreation on deck, are a few of the entertainments afforded her passengers. Yet there is quiet rest and relaxation for those so inclined. The ship’s huge size is pleasingly apparent in the spaciousness of her luxuriously fitted public rooms, the broad sweep of her deck spaces and her roomy private accommodations. Cuisine and service are in keeping with the highest standards of ocean travel.

Trips ashore are doubly attractive because of the skilled guidance of the American Express Company and because of the distinction with which the passengers of this outstanding world cruiser are received throughout their entire journey.

Sailing Westward from New York November 25, From Los Angeles December 11, San Francisco December 14, Returning to New York, April 6, 1926. 132 days, 60 cities, 14 countries. Restricted to 475 passengers.
