Description
Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad for the American Export Lines. This ad is for the Constitution and the Independence which are identified as being Flagships of the American Export Lines. This ad has a picture of the front, lower half of the bow as the ship is dropping anchor as it pulls into port in someplace exotic. The ad headline starts off by saying this is a “Fall Sunlane Cruise to the Mediterranean”. It then says that “At the first glimpse of Cannes you’ll shoot up a whole roll of film. Here on the fascinating French Rivera you can explore fabulous Nice, ancient La Turbie, go inland to Grasse, the world’s perfume center. Must: a spin along the spectacular Grande Corniche Drive between Cannes and Monte Carlo (perhaps a visit to the Casino). Calls at colorful Genoa give you a chance to discover Italy’s picturesque Rivera. Every Sunlane Cruise drops in at Naples. The glorious bay, Vesuvius, the nearby ruins of doomed Pompeii, Sorrento and Amalfi pure gold for the sight-seer. You can include visits to Rome, in Seville, to North Africa. Take a 3-week Sundane Cruise this Fall aboard the air-conditioned Constitution or Independence. It costs as little as $555 in Cabin Class or $715 in First. Sea=Air Cruises are also available. You cruise to Naples by ship, sight-see across Europe to Paris; London, too…return overnight by T.W.A. plane…15 days or longer”.
