Great tumbler celebrating the Tropicale’s Maiden Voyage in 1982. Great etched image of the ship.

Lovely set of hurricane glasses from the ship of multi lives. These would be perfect for some Mojitos or Daiquiris.

Great double set of Playing Cards for this ship of many varied lives! Excellent condition.

A very early “Golden Fleet” DP/ Brochure for the young Carnival fleet. From a humble start with this one ship … Carnival became the worlds largest cruise line operator. Excellent condition and photos. Lots of nice color .. a Farkus touch I’m sure

A very early “Golden Fleet” DP/ Brochure for the young Carnival fleet. From a humble start with this one ship … Carnival became the worlds largest cruise line operator. Excellent condition and photos.

Nice plan brochure fold out for Carnival’s first ship the Mardi Gras. Interestingly this 1974 brochure first I know of to refer to the ships as “fun ships” which has been  the tag line for Carnival marketing forever. The old CP Empress of Canada went to the breakers in the early 2000’s.

Interesting single baggage tag … actually marked “Atlantic Cruise Lines”  … must have been some sort of short term Charter for the TS Carla C ( ex Flandre). Excellent condition.

Excellent deck plan folder for the Angelina Lauro … lovely interior photos and color coded deck plans. She was a  major dollar earner … until the day of the fire. Excellent condition … a little writing on the front.

Great blue and gold PL for the Sun Viking … these folks were on a lovely cruise over Christmas … and by the comments and note in back had a great time.

An early PL for the lovely little Nordic Prince … simple gold and blue covers!

Nice large deck plan for the beautiful QE2. The tag line touts the 9 new reasons to travel onboard the QE2. These range from the midnight buffet … to the new suites  and accommodations. Pretty nice with a few pen and pencil markings.

The first and best brochure ever done for the “Greatest Ocean Liner of our time” .. the QM2. Super thick and filled with renderings of her interiors and all other sorts of great info about the ship. These are getting harder to find .. though Cunard printed lots of them!

A pristine copy of the “Norway” .. the lovely book dedicated to telling her conversion from the France to the Norway story. Written by john Maxtone Graham, the book is rich in text, prose and pictures of the amazing conversion and ship’s story. This would have been the Ultimate souvenir to purchase onboard during her debut seasons  as the Norway. Pristine and gorgeous! … love the richly embossed cover!

A lovely brochure for the dual liners and their 1971 Caribbean cruises. Excellent floral cover graphics and great color inside .. this is a beautiful brochure for sure. Another few years and both ships would be sold off to other owners. Can you spot the minor graphic cover flaw that puts my design OC in hyper drive?

Nice folder by TC … showing multi like cruises in 1981 (and some related air fares). The cover shows the Rotterdam’s pool and lido deck.

Nice flyer for 1976 Carla C Cruises in the Caribbean.. Lovely mod squad graphics and a few pictures. Once the French Line Flandre … this lovely lady spent some time with Costa.

Nice flyer for the January 1977 Country and Western Cruise of the Federico C. Lovely mod squad graphics and a few pictures. The cruise featured Bill Anderson and Mary Lou Turner.

Lovely little flyer for the 5 lovely ships: Federico C, Angelina Lauro, Flavia, Carla C and Amerikanis.  Super 70’s graphics. great cruises out of San Juan and Pt. Everglades.

Lovely little flyer for the 3 lovely ships: Federico C, Angelina Lauro and Flavia.  There cruises were staged from multiple American ports: NYC, WDC , Philly and Baltimore. Super 70’s graphics.

Lovely DP brochure for the beautiful Federico C’s 10 and 11 day Caribbean cruises in late74 and early 75. Lots of of lovely interior photos and information about the ship. Great Profile and deckplans as well … super colorful and 70’s graphics throughout.

Very nice book to introduce the new Sovereign of the Seas into the RC fleet. It does cover some of the early history of the line … by most of the book is pure info on the newest fleet mate. Being a work by John Maxtone Graham, make sure you have your Shakespearian thesaurus and dictionary at the ready … you’ll probably need it to help translate some of the dramatic maritime prose. Excellent condition.

Costa Marketing produced some of the finest brochures in the later 70’s and 80s … and this one for the Daphne sure is stunning. There are 16 pages of color interior photos as well as color coded deck plans. A beautiful cruise ship, she started life basically as a freighter for the Port Line. The text and information is written in 3 different languages: Italian, German and English: From 1979 when she joined the Costa fleet Excellent condition.

Probably the ultimate souvenir you could have from your voyage onboard would be one of these high quality and detailed models. These were probably also used at local travel agencies.

Excellent condition! $125

Great official photo of the lovely Europa. Nice Hapag Lloyd sticker on the back. Good shape!

One used and one unused postcard showing the Angelina. The used card is dated 1976 …a few years later she would be a burned out hulk. The unused card shows her anchored at Nassau.
