Representing a total of approximately 80,000 tons gross register 
This is truly the greatest pleasure fleet of palatial steamships ever organized. Raymond-Whit comb are 
confident no other equally satisfactory fleet could be organized for such Cruises. Every one of these 
excellent ships has been selected on its own merits as preeminently suitable for the part it is to play in 
the Raymond-Whitcomb 1923 program. The same expert knowledge born of long experience, which 
prompted the selection of this phcnotnenal pleasure fleet has guided the arrangement and planning of 
the several itineraries. Discriminating travelers—those who seek “The Best in Travel’’—will find their 
travel ideas becoming realities on any one of these great travel opportunites 
Hie palatial S. S. “Resolute,” 
the first of this great pleasure 
fleet to sail, leaves New York 
on January 9, 1923 
Her course is over an incom¬ 
parable route on the most 
comprehensive schedule ever 
offered for a 
Round-the- World Cruise 
She will visit the West Indies, 
Panama, Hawaiian Islands, 
Japan, China, Java, Malay 
Peninsula, Burma, India, 
Egypt, Italy and France. An 
exceedingly generous sched¬ 
ule has been arranged per¬ 
mitting many essential trips 
which it is impossible to take 
in connection with any other 
Cruise 
However, such a brief allu¬ 
sion cannot give anywhere 
near a comprehensive idea of 
how truly this Cruise is a mar¬ 
velously complete journey 
Round-the-World. That is 
why we have prepared a 
Booklet describing this Cruise 
The new S. S. “Volendam” 
sails from New York, Janu¬ 
ary 16, 1923, on the 
Second 
Round-the-World Cruise 
Although there is a difference 
of a week in sailing dates, 
the schedules allot the same 
length of time to each place 
included in the twin itiner¬ 
aries 
Expert planning has insured 
calls at the various countries 
when they may be agree¬ 
ably visited. Raymond-Whit¬ 
comb Cruise members may 
enjoy themselves ashore 
without encountering the an¬ 
noyances which are usually 
to be expected at the very 
height of the so-called tourist 
season 
Countless other facts which 
recommend these twin voy¬ 
ages to discriminating trav¬ 
elers are presented in our 
Round - the - World Cruise 
Booklet 
The triple-screw steamer 
“Reliance,” sister ship of the 
“Resolute,” is the third ship 
of this great fleet 
Sailing from New York on 
February 3, 1923, she will 
be gone 45 days on. the Ray¬ 
mond-Whitcomb 
Brazilian Centennial Cruise 
Making a complete circuit of 
the beautiful Caribbean, the 
“Reliance” visits many bril¬ 
liant West Indies ports, 
touches Panama and includes 
significant South American 
cities in her itinerary 
The schedule covers Havana, 
Colon, Panama, La Guaira, 
Caracas, Port of Spain, Rio 
de Janeiro and the Centen¬ 
nial Exposition, Santos, Ba¬ 
hia, Barbados, Martinique, 
Virgin Islands, Porto Rico 
The shore excursions and 
the possibilities for further 
travel in South America, the 
unusual features of the itiner¬ 
ary, are told in our Booklet 
The famous S. S. “Rotter¬ 
dam” is the fourth ship of 
this great pleasure fleet to 
sail from New York 
She leaves on February 10, 
1923, for the Annual Ray¬ 
mond-Whitcomb 
Mediterranean Cruise 
The 1923 Cruises will include 
all the usual Raymond-Whit¬ 
comb features as well as new 
and exclusive attractions 
The itinerary alone is suf¬ 
ficient to convince the dis¬ 
criminating traveler. For, the 
Cruise will visit the Azores, 
Madeira, Lisbon, Cadiz, Gib¬ 
raltar, Malaga, Algiers, Cor¬ 
sica, Naples, Athens, Con¬ 
stantinople, the Holy Land 
and Egypt (2 weeks) 
And yet, this is but a small 
part of the complete story 
which is told in our very in¬ 
teresting booklet of the 1923 
Mediterranean Cruise, well 
worth asking for 
We will gladly send you any one of these Booklets, or the 
complete, set, upon request, without obligating you in any way
