Brochures from the 1970s

A great view of the MS Victoria from the air!

Here are some further brochures promoting the World’s Newest Cruise Liner.” She was promoted as being “a truly luxury class ship,” which she was for her time. She featured some of the most spacious accommodations found on any ship, with the majority being outside ones. Tiese brochure also contains a Deck Plan, but due to its delicate condition, I have decided not to copy the interiors. Beside a side on drawing it also has pencil drawings of her public rooms and cabins.

All images on this page were culled from brochures which are part of the author’s vast private maritime collection. All images are © Copyright 2006, and may not be copied for the use on any media, except with the author’s permission.

This is the brochure that shows her 35 day cruise from New York to Copenhagen
