A number of these cruises originate in New York, some from Fort Lauder-' dale, and then there is the new Air -Sea Vacations, whereby one flies from say Tc:•onto or Detrqit to one AA the islands in the Carib- bean, . within only a few short hours you have left the cold of winter behind and you're on your luxury cruise ship in the Carib- bean. The ship the Costa Line uses for their cruise is the Carla C. She is everything you've ever imagined a luxury liner to be. All the cabins, are air-conditioned, with tele- phones to talk on (obviously they try to make the ladies feel as much at home as possible) and stereo to listen to. On board you'll find swimming pools and saunas (a floating YMCA), intimate night spots, a balconied theatre; and some of the finest Italian voices ever to reach the high seas. When you're not sightseeing or splashing in water, enjoying gourmet meals (six times a day) or being waited on hand and foot by the elegant crew, you can go off by yourselves for a moonlit walk along the Promenade Decks. For the person who is looking for a week of relaxation and fun, this is the way to go. A typical itinerary might read something like this: Cleveland or Chicago • Saturday Leave home for Detroit for your mid-day Jet Flight to San Juan, Puerto Rico where you will arrive mid-afternoon. Upon your arrival in San Juan you will be transferred to the luxurious Carla C waiting for you in Sad Juan harbour. Once aboard you have complete use of all facilities and you're beginning a week of relaxation, fun and interesting sightseeing. You'll also meet many new friends and acquaint- ances from around the ,globe. Your first day out on the Carib- bean Sea. Perhaps you'd just like to sit in the sun and relax... may- . be take a sauna bath, or swim in the. autiful swing pool. Mar are the activit es aboard ship. You'll find the food just out of this world... and plenty of it. If you're on a diet you'll have tc,► have great willpower not to gain a few inches to the state of your constitution. • Monday Today you'll call on your first port, Willemstad, Curacao. Located in the Netherlands An- tilles, Curacao is an island of con- trast.,, The main streets and gabled houses of Willemstad were inspired by old Amsterdam. As you approach Curacao you see Queen Emma. You may have to wait 15 to 20 minutes for her. It's not that she's slowing down, she's just busier than she used to be. Last year over 30 cruises were scheduled to stop at Curacao. You'll see her right away as yon, slip from the Caribbean. Sea through St. Anna Bay into the Shottegat. She'll stand aside to let you pass. Once you've got your feet on dry ground, you'll want to stroll down the narrow little streets with their colorfully gabled houses. While in Curacao you'll want to sip bit of Amstel Dutch Beer ... it's pretty good! Perhaps you'll want to take a drive through a cactus forest, see an old Dutch plantation', cen- turies -mellowed land -houses and for a really different touch, wild goats roaming over the country- side. The ladies, of course, will want to do some shopping for themselves and friends and rela- tives back home. You'll find many bargains here as Curacao is a free -port and prices are very, very low. Alas, but how time has slipped away—time to get aboard ship. By all means, don't be late or they might leave without you. Tuesday Today you'll visit La Guaira, seaport for Caracas, capital of Venezuela. Most of the world's leading cruise lines make La Guaira a regular port -of -call. Located at the northern tip of South America, you're sure to en- joy your stay in Caracas. Per- haps you may wish to explore the environs around this ancient city, with many outstanding historical sights. Tate some time to talk to some of the residents, exchange greeting. buy souvenirs, sample their cuisine and hospitality. Maybe you'll want to get together with some friends you made on ship and rent a car for the day. There are numerous activitieil to participate in. Wednesday Today you'll visit the Island of Trinidad, crossroads of the Caribbean, where east and west meet and merge with a calypso beat. Trinidad has much to offer the tourist. You can spend a de - lightful day on this Caribbean is- land, sightseeing in Port-of- Spain fj or renting a car and tour- ing the island. Why not get to- gether with another couple today, make a picnic lunch, rent ,a car, and travel around. You'll find many delightful areas for a pic- nic with scenic views of the Caribbean. Time wilt slip away so quickly you'll wonder where it all went, Thursday Today your cruise ship docks at the Island of Flowers . , . Mar- tinique. Situated in the heart of the Antilles Archipelago, Martin- ique is located some 400 miles from Puerto Rico and 450 miles from Caracas. Discovered in 1493 by Christopher Columbus, it was not until his fourth voyage in 1502 that he landed and named this is- land in honor of Saint Martin. The Carib Indians called it "Madin- ina" Island of Flowers. A warm welcome always awaits you here. Your stay in Martinique will be one of the more delightful experiences you will meet with in the Caribbean. This island is the most famous and has. the richest history of all the Antilles, and is the only island of the new world to have given six sovereigns to Europe, among them the wife of Napoleon I, Em- press Josephine. Its landscape is reputed as one of the most beauti- ful and varied of all the Carib- bean Islands... its villages are animated and picturesque and its inhabitants friendly and cour- teous. . Friday Today our cruise ship goes to the U.S. Virgin Islands and stops at St. Thomas the lively island. Native nightspots, bargains from everywhere in the world and in- credible picture postcard scenery that's impossible to forget. St. Thomas lies directly in the path of the cool Trade Winds that blow down from southwestern Europe. This probably account for the fact tat it was sighted by :Columbus on his second voyage west. , Exceptional bargains at -Free Port prices bring multitudes of happy shoppers scrambling down cruise ship 'gang planks through- out the Year. No wonder the har- bour . at Charlotte Amalie, the capital city of St. Thomas', is the busiest cruise port in the Carib- bean. J. • To really see this lovely shell - shaped harbour, take the aerial tramway. From there you look down on the pastel houses of the town spilling into the busy har- bour. You'll also see the cloud - swathed mountains in the back- ground, beautiful bays aid beaches. !!�� But Charlotte Amalie has more than a great view. It has some of the most beautiful. shops any- where filled with incredible bar- gains. It is the home of the Virgin; Islands Legislature and houses the main campus of the College of the Virgin Islands. It has friendly faces and warm-hearted people. One of the nicest things about Charlotte Amalie is what it's sur- rounded with. As a suggestion, you might want to rent a car and drive into the country. Please re- member to drive on the left side of the road, while you see the sights. Many guided tours to points of interest are available- you'll find them very interesting and information about them can be obtained from your cabin boy aboard ship.
