CRUISE SHIP VACATION
A WAYTO BEAT WINTER
Many are the Cruise Lines
which operate cruises of one, two
and three weeks to the sunny is-
lands of the Caribbean. 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.
