In the Huropean
tradition
of excellence.

his concept of cru
ity of smaller ships
of the larger lin

id accommodations would be





cious and elegant, yet intimate; service, attentive, impec-
cable and personal; dining, a time to get together with
friends and acquaintances for a pleasurable experience
In addition, Sun Line also quickly developed a reputation
for having an unerring sense for choosing fascinating
ports of call

The over: was a perfect blending of the Euro
pean tradition of excellence with the American tradition of
comfort. The Sun Line concept of cruising was an imme-
diate success, and Mr.Keusseoglou added other cruise
liners to his fleet to meet the demand. Sun Line became,
and still is today, the premier cruiseline of the Aegean

Today, the ships have changed and all are newer, but
the Sun Line tradition of excellence continues. Sun Line
still sets the same standards and styles created in the
Aegean. Our fleet has been found for many years in the
Caribbean and along the coast of South America as well
as in more distant waters—the entire Mediterranean, the









coast of Africa, the fjords of Norway. And this winter,
once again in the indigo blue waters of the Caribbean.

Starting in December, we offer you a choice of 15
sailings in the Caribbean where you can experience the
Sun Line standards of hospitality. Our new flagship, the
Stella Solaris (18,000 tons) will sail a series of cruises
out of Galveston and Tampa; our yacht-like Stella
Oceanis (6,000 tons) will sail a series of cruises out of
San Juan

The Stella Solaris is sleek in styling, spacious in size,
with room for 630 guests and 310 crew. The Stella
Oceanis has room for 280 guests and 140 crew; its
accommodation is very comfortable, its size permits the
Captain to chart a yacht itinerary.

Each ship offers you a different style of cruising. One
feature, however, remains constant-the Sun Line con-
ceptof travel: that combination of the European tradition
of excellence with the American tradition of comfort.



In the Furopean
tradition
of service.





On a Sun Line cruise, you'll find that service is more
than a word—it is something that is around you all the
time. For we have a ratio very close to one crew member
to every two passengers, enabling us to look after you
completely 24 hours a day

Service comes in one nationality on a Sun Line Cruise,
and fortunately, that nationality is Greek. It is known
throughout Europe that Greeks have a fantastic sense
of hospitality; they are sincere, warm, generous and
unassuming, without ulterior motive. And to a Greek,
being in service is a position still looked upon with pride

You'Il experience this hospitality throughout your
entire cruise. As you come on board, you'll be greeted
by the Chief Steward and his entourage. You'll be shown
to your spacious cabin by your personal Room Steward,
where he'Il assist you in getting settled











Throughout the voyage, he will attend to your every
request. He'Il make sure you won't miss the early-mom-
ing arrivals at new ports of call. If you like, he'll see to it
that a continental breakfast is served to you in bed. He'll
make sure there are always enough fluffy towels in your
bath, that your room is always tidied, that your bed is
made once you're up and out and turned down for a good
night's sleep. He'll take care of your clothes that need
pressing; he'Il even shine your shoes if you leave them
by your cabin door when you relire.

When it's time for dining, you'll move to the Dining
Salon and be treated with the same courtesy by a com-
pletely different staff. The Chief Dining Steward will take
you to the table you request. Your waiters are there; the
wine steward is standing by. The table itself has fresh
flowers, monogrammed china and fine crystal. And all
around you are other people having a good time





Tonight, we might start dinner with petite marmite à la
Frangaise, followed by shrimps tourkolimano; the main
course might be tournedos sauté Rossini; for dessert,
profiterole au chocolat Chantilly and Byzantine coffee

Or you might have creme veloutè Monte Carlo, fol-
lowed by moqueca of fresh sea bass à la Veracruzana;
the main course might be suprème de poularde Renais-
sance; and for desseri, nougatine gateau au Chantilly.
Again, of course, with Byzantine coffee.

An additional touch to every menu are little surprises
from Greece like stuffed grape leaves and pastitsio and
moussaka. There always is fresh fruit-cherries, straw-
berries, melon

Whether you're dining by candlelight or sunning your-
self by the pool-whatever—you will be treated with the
same courtesy. You would think that you cannot ask for
more than that. But if you do, it will be done.

burnished browns, rosewood and hand-cast bronze. It's
the perfect place to relax over an aperitit

You'll find this use of space outdoors, too. The two
swimming pools are oversized for a ship; there is 24,000
sq et of deck space on which you can look for a
corner to read or sun

Most important, you'll find this use of space in your
cabin or suite. The Stella Solaris has more out-sized
rooms for her capacity than any other ship. 110 state-
rooms have their own sitting rooms; the floors are car-
peted wall-to-wall in deep pile

You"]l also find on board a sauna and gymnasium, a
Monte Carlo Room, a boutique and beauty parlor.

We could go on and on about our yacht itinerary: but
we must tell you more about our Stella Oceanis.

Size is the major difference you will find between the
Stella Oceanis and the Stella Solaris. She accommo-
dates 280 guests and 140 crew, and is for those people
Who prefer a more intimate cruise. Yet the vessel pro-
videos all the luxuries and service of a much larger ship
as she follows her yacht itinerary.

You walk down wide corridors by the library and bou-
tique to the spacious Minos Lounge, all soft and plush in
rich velaurs. You'Il move up one of the staircases, by
colorful mosaics, to the Plaka Taverna. There, you'll get
the feeling of life at sea, in surroundings of polished
mahogany and harbor lights.

Yau'Il dine at the Aphrodite Restaurant, sun-splashed
and cheerful, rows of windows looking out onto the Carib-
bean, each table highlighted in flowers from the islands.



And once again, you'll find the use of space in your
cabin. All the rooms are oversized, there is wall-to-wall
carpeting, automatic temperature control and telephones.

And of course, there's a swimming pool, many sunny
decks, a Monte Carlo Room and beauty parlor. Join us
as we set sail for the Snubs.

Today, the ships have changed and all are newer, but
the Sun Line tradition of excellence continues. Sun Line
still sets the same standards and styles created in the
Aegean. Our fleet has been found for many years in the
Caribbean and along the coast of South America as well
as in more distant waters—the entire Mediterranean, the









coast of Africa, the fjords of Norway. And this winter,
once again in the indigo blue waters of the Caribbean.

Starting in December, we offer you a choice of 15
sailings in the Caribbean where you can experience the
Sun Line standards of hospitality. Our new flagship, the
Stella Solaris (18,000 tons) will sail a series of cruises
out of Galveston and Tampa; our yacht-like Stella
Oceanis (6,000 tons) will sail a series of cruises out of
San Juan

The Stella Solaris is sleek in styling, spacious in size,
with room for 630 guests and 310 crew. The Stella
Oceanis has room for 280 guests and 140 crew; its
accommodation is very comfortable, its size permits the
Captain to chart a yacht itinerary.

Each ship offers you a different style of cruising. One
feature, however, remains constant-the Sun Line con-
ceptof travel: that combination of the European tradition
of excellence with the American tradition of comfort.



In the Furopean
tradition
of service.





On a Sun Line cruise, you'll find that service is more
than a word—it is something that is around you all the
time. For we have a ratio very close to one crew member
to every two passengers, enabling us to look after you
completely 24 hours a day

Service comes in one nationality on a Sun Line Cruise,
and fortunately, that nationality is Greek. It is known
throughout Europe that Greeks have a fantastic sense
of hospitality; they are sincere, warm, generous and
unassuming, without ulterior motive. And to a Greek,
being in service is a position still looked upon with pride

You'Il experience this hospitality throughout your
entire cruise. As you come on board, you'll be greeted
by the Chief Steward and his entourage. You'll be shown
to your spacious cabin by your personal Room Steward,
where he'Il assist you in getting settled











Throughout the voyage, he will attend to your every
request. He'Il make sure you won't miss the early-mom-
ing arrivals at new ports of call. If you like, he'll see to it
that a continental breakfast is served to you in bed. He'll
make sure there are always enough fluffy towels in your
bath, that your room is always tidied, that your bed is
made once you're up and out and turned down for a good
night's sleep. He'll take care of your clothes that need
pressing; he'Il even shine your shoes if you leave them
by your cabin door when you relire.

When it's time for dining, you'll move to the Dining
Salon and be treated with the same courtesy by a com-
pletely different staff. The Chief Dining Steward will take
you to the table you request. Your waiters are there; the
wine steward is standing by. The table itself has fresh
flowers, monogrammed china and fine crystal. And all
around you are other people having a good time





Tonight, we might start dinner with petite marmite à la
Frangaise, followed by shrimps tourkolimano; the main
course might be tournedos sauté Rossini; for dessert,
profiterole au chocolat Chantilly and Byzantine coffee

Or you might have creme veloutè Monte Carlo, fol-
lowed by moqueca of fresh sea bass à la Veracruzana;
the main course might be suprème de poularde Renais-
sance; and for desseri, nougatine gateau au Chantilly.
Again, of course, with Byzantine coffee.

An additional touch to every menu are little surprises
from Greece like stuffed grape leaves and pastitsio and
moussaka. There always is fresh fruit-cherries, straw-
berries, melon

Whether you're dining by candlelight or sunning your-
self by the pool-whatever—you will be treated with the
same courtesy. You would think that you cannot ask for
more than that. But if you do, it will be done.

burnished browns, rosewood and hand-cast bronze. It's
the perfect place to relax over an aperitit

You'll find this use of space outdoors, too. The two
swimming pools are oversized for a ship; there is 24,000
sq et of deck space on which you can look for a
corner to read or sun

Most important, you'll find this use of space in your
cabin or suite. The Stella Solaris has more out-sized
rooms for her capacity than any other ship. 110 state-
rooms have their own sitting rooms; the floors are car-
peted wall-to-wall in deep pile

You"]l also find on board a sauna and gymnasium, a
Monte Carlo Room, a boutique and beauty parlor.

Look at it this way. You almost every
sails the Caribbean any day of the week.

But you can only sail the Stella Solaris in the Caribbe:
once a year. Bon voyage.

We could go on and on about our yacht itinerary: but
we must tell you more about our Stella Oceanis.

Size is the major difference you will find between the
Stella Oceanis and the Stella Solaris. She accommo-
dates 280 guests and 140 crew, and is for those people
Who prefer a more intimate cruise. Yet the vessel pro-
videos all the luxuries and service of a much larger ship
as she follows her yacht itinerary.

You walk down wide corridors by the library and bou-
tique to the spacious Minos Lounge, all soft and plush in
rich velaurs. You'Il move up one of the staircases, by
colorful mosaics, to the Plaka Taverna. There, you'll get
the feeling of life at sea, in surroundings of polished
mahogany and harbor lights.

Yau'Il dine at the Aphrodite Restaurant, sun-splashed
and cheerful, rows of windows looking out onto the Carib-
bean, each table highlighted in flowers from the islands.



And once again, you'll find the use of space in your
cabin. All the rooms are oversized, there is wall-to-wall
carpeting, automatic temperature control and telephones.

And of course, there's a swimming pool, many sunny
decks, a Monte Carlo Room and beauty parlor. Join us
as we set sail for the Snubs.
