Ad Campaign - Moore-McCormack Lines 1952

Today, cruising usually means a few days wandering around the Caribbean on a ship built for 5000, but in the 1952, cruise ships were just as likely to take one to Europe, the Orient or South America.   This ad for the Moore-McCormack Lines is featuring a 38 day drip to ports in South America.

Everything you’ve dreamed a holiday should be… a joyous round of parties, entertainment, sports…  long relaxing days on shipboard… every comfort, superb food… enlivened by visits to enchanted tropical isles and the glamorous wonder-cities of South America at the height of their social seasons.  Big comfortable ships… outdoor tiles swimming pools, broad sun decks, every facility for rest and play.
