Royal Cruises: 3 White Pin Dishes
3 Great Little pin dishes for this early modern cruise line. Great gold logo!
NYK: Lovely Colored Blotter
Really nice color blotter for the NYK/ Japan Mail Line. Lovely profile of a twin funnel liner passing from the deck of another NYK liner. Some ink writing on the reverse side. Kind of rare to find in the USA
Celebrity Cruises: 4 heavy glass tumblers
Evolved from Chandris Cruises … Celebrity Cruises has been successful. Maybe these were on my favorite Celebrity ship the Meridian, which once was the lovely Italian Mariconi (though extensively rebuilt). Great for your evening scotch!
NCL: Norway Medallion
Interesting and curious medallion item from the Mighty Norway. I suspect this was a decorative item that would have been used in conjunction with onboard signage. these is glue on the back side where this was once attached to some structure on board. I wonder where this was exactly mounted on the ship!
Sitmar Cruises: Broggi Mustard Pot
Great Italian Broggi mustard pot … directly from the onboard service of a Sitmar ship. I expect this is from one of the 70’s or 80’s ships like the Fairsky or Fairsea .. a little mystery. Includes the glass insert … which has a star of Bethlehem design stamped into it’s bottom. Can use some polishing to the silver and wood.
Carnival Cruise Lines: Mardi Gras Pin Tray
Awesome pin tray for the lovely Mardi Gras! Once the Empress of Canada, she helped put Carnival on the map … and they have become the biggest in the business. Beautifully dome in Black glass and white outline. Excellent condition.
NCL: Norway Cabin Number Sign and Deckplan
Somebody was onboard and removed this wonderful items …a cabin number plaque from Suite 0 1039. Who ever it was … they really just ripped this right off the bulkhead … there is still some of the wall board and glue attached to the back side. It is made of a Corian like resin …very durable. The suite was located on the International deck pretty far forward … very close to the ice cream parlor and children’s playroom. Very unique item!
TFDS: Midnatsol deckplan
Interesting deckplan for a interesting ship. She didn’t carry many passengers; she only had 181 berths.
Excellent condition.
HAL: Veendam 4 A Heritage for the Future builders book.
Lovely inaugural book for the last Veendam … 4th in HAL’s history. The book covers the building, interiors, artwork and lots of info on the ship. the book is in excellent shape and full of photos and info!
Luxury Liner Row NY Harbor:
Lovely postcard view of the liner docks… looks like the QE is being docked while the Indy, United States, America, Olympia Mauretania, Sylvania and the mighty USS intrepid occupy the docks. Full color view in excellent unused shape.
Crystal Cruises: Crystal Harmony Steamship Historical Society Menu
Lovely menu for the dinner hosted onboard for members of the SSHSA on May 6th 1995. Though there were only 2 choices … I bet they were delicious! excellent condition. I bet Freank Braynard was there!
NCL: SS Norway cruise news dated May 25th 2003
Cruise News and inserts for the cruise that was not to be … the ships was to leave Miami about 415 that afternoon … but about 630 that morning the ship was rocked by a massive boiler explosion that killed 8 crew members and would ultimately end the ships service life. The inserts include a welcome aboard sheet and cover the varied shore excursions offered. good condition … probably removed from the ship in Miami before she was towed to Germany for repairs that never took place.
NCL: SS Norway Room Folder-Packet May 25th 2003
Room folder-packet that would have been prepared for the Norway’s cruise that was to depart Miami on May 25th 2003… but that didn’t happen. Just after 630 that morning the ship was rocked by a boiler explosion that claimed the lives of 8 crewmen. She would never sail under her own power again. The folder has some scuffs and bumps to the outside and contains typical necessary items like stationery, a postcard, cruise news paper (dated May 25th), deck plans, SS Norway history pamphlet and telephone guide. The folder was probably quickly removed from the ship as a souvenir before she was towed to Bremerhaven. Interesting item for the last day of the ships service!
Cunard Line: QM2 Portrait Playing Cards
Excellent unopened and sealed in a plastic w/ a protective clear case. Pristine condition.
German Atlantic: TS Hamburg Caribbean Cruise 1971 pin dish
I’m not sure which cruise line started usung thse dishes in the 1970’s as souvenirs… but almost every old world “luxury” line had adopeted them and they were a staple onoard well into the 1990’s. This rosenthal dish celebrates the Feb 11-25 Caribbean cruise of the Hamburg … German Atlantic’s “spaceship”.
Sitmar: Glass ashtray
A nice glass ashtray with the Sitmar logo .. going all glass from china was a a cost cutting trick for all of these sorts of items. I really liked the “V” ships
Sitmar: Ginori China ashtray
A nice china ashtray with the Sitmar logo…. another ship line that disappeared in the 90’s. I really liked the “V” ships
Cunard Line: “Stars Aboard” book.
Newer Cute little nostalgic book on famous folks that traveled onboard the Cunard liners. From Eddie Arcaro ( Kentucky Derby jockey) to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor there are about 75 folks covered with pictures of them aboard various ships pre 1967ish. Probably sold in the gift shops on today Cunarders.
Carnival Cruise Lines: Festivale Print- Watercolor Picture
Lovely framed watercolor picture of the Festivale … Carnival’s 3rd ship and formerly the Transvaal castle. The ship was remodeled in Japan and entered service for Carnival soon after. The picture is in a older frame with the typical nicks etc. The back has a “statistics” sheet taped to it with info on the ship.
Royal Caribbean: Stingray shaped ashtray
Really cool heavy china tray for Royal Caribbean. could hold quite a few cigs if you are a smoker. Excellent shape!

Cunard Line: QE2 Grand Pacific and orient Cruise 1978.
I was a whole 9 when the E2 set off on this wonderful cruise around the Pacific! Wonderful brochure with interior pics and route info. Pretty darn good shape .. maybe a slight edge bump. At this time, Cunard was struggling to keep the QE2 profitable and these cruises sure helped!
Cunard Line: QM2 ship brochure and fist years sailing brochure.
A modern liner like no other .. the QM2 is touted as the successor to the lovely and then soon to be retired QE2. The first ship brochure is full of renderings on the QM2’s interiors and amenities… the 2 story dining room is awesome! The second brochures covers her many “maiden” voyages as well as first season of cruising etc. Direct from Cunard/Carnival.. you won’t find early info on the QM2 that is better than these! Seattle agency sticker .. Great condition!
Royal Caribbean: Blue Souvenir Scarf
Lovely Blue scarf for one of the earlier RC ships! These ships were always easily identified my their unique “Funnel” Lounge. Superb profile of a ship in one corner .This is a heavy scarf … made of acetate… in pristine shape!
