This year there will be TWO Raymond- Whitcomb Summer Cruises to the Land of the Midnight Sun. The cruise-ships will be sister-ships-the newest Cunarders- specially designed for cruising. Sailing just after the close of schools and colleges, these cruises have consistently attracted younger people and families bound for a vaca-· tion together. They may be taken as a complete holiday in themselves (generous shore excursions characterize the programs) or as a delightful new way to Paris. The routes include Ice· land, the North Cape and Hammerfest, Trondhjem, the most beautiful of the Norwegian Fjords and the cities of Scandinavia and the BalticBergen, Oslo, Stockholm, Visby, Tallinn (Esthonian capital), Helsingfors (capital of Finland) and Copenhagen. The rates- $800 upinclude assured homeward accommodations by such noted Cunard liners as the "Aquitania", "Berengaria" and "Mauretania" as well as the '-'Carinthia" and "Franconia".
