Σαν να έχεις δίκιο... σε άσπρη παραλλαγή!
Aris, have posted this here as it did'nt seem right to include it in the Efthymiadis thread.
This is only a selection of the pages in the brochure, specifically on Cynthia and Isthmia.
I really love these classic liners with their unique cruiser sterns and apparently they were very luxuriously appointed inside.
Just look at the prices for a 14 day cruise package!!
The Apollonia was also a very popular ship with British travellers and she was the first vessel used by Cosmos for these voyages.
Let me know if you want me to scan other pages from the other vessels (Apollonia, Achilleus, Queen Frederica and Roma).
Henry.

Thank you once again Henry, this is really fascinating. I would really love to see the rest of the brochure!
I suppose that Cosmos was marketing the usual service as a cruise, maybe this is why it was so cheap.
The Marseilles-Italy-Greece-Cyprus-Alexandria-Beirut run was done by HML for decades. The ships that were employed in this run were known as "Mediterranean ships" (Mesogeiaka). Unfortunately, the evolution of airplane made this passenger service unprofitable.
Competition included Adriatica, Zim and others.
Isthmia and Suecia were regarded by many as the most beautiful ships owned by HML. Personally, I can only agree.
Following is a painting of Isthmia by George Velentzas. It appeared in the book "Lefkoma Nautilias" of P.Spyropoulos.
