To Northern Europe by the Scandinavian-American Line

The Trip of Trips

In all the world, there are no lands like Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The lands of charm, romance, and tradition; of hospitality; of scenic grandeur; of sports and pastimes of the great outdoors. To the traveler seeking an ideal vacation realm; to the seeker after health and vigor; to the lover of the picturesque; to the hunter and fisherman—to all of you, these beautiful countries of the North extend a hearty invitation.

And with the countless thousands who each year cross the Atlantic, the Scandinavian-American Line continues to grow in favor. Travelers select the steamers of this line because of their extreme steadiness, their comfortable accommodations and their high standard of service. And the route of this line grows in popularity as a preferable way to travel from New York to Europe.

Time of Voyage

The voyage occupies about 9 1/2, days, except on the steamer "Frederik VIII" which takes only 8 days, and it offers an attractive, quick, and comfortable way to travel, whether the ultimate destination be in Scandinavia or one of the adjacent continental countries.

Route and Passage

Scandinavian-American Line steamers sail from the Company's dock New York Harbor. (See Canadian agents for sailings from Canada.) The route takes the ships north of Scotland to CHRISTIANSAND, Norway, the first port of call. Then up the beautiful Oslo Fjord to OSLO, where sufficient time is allowed' to permit of short visits to the Norwegian Capital and it's environs.

Ladies Room, Second Cabin

(Tourists going to the North Cape to see the Midnight Sun, or to make the Fjord cruises, may stop over to see Southern Norway before proceeding.

Passengers booked to Bergen receive free transportation from Oslo, via the world-famed scenic Oslo-Bergen Highland Railway.

Fast and comfortable trips can be made from Oslo by railway to Gothenburg, Stockholm, and by steamer from Stockholm to Finnish points.)

And finally, our steamers make an overnight run from Oslo to COPENHAGEN, Denmark. This home port is the ideal connection for the principal cities of Europe, and particularly those in Germany, Poland and other Baltic countries.

For the sightseer on pleasure bent, and for the traveler who desires a combination of restful ease and rare enjoyment in his traveling, the facilities and superiority of this route are many, and time proven.
