You don't need to go to the Caribbean or Mediterranean to experience the best in cruising. Silja Line, whose deluxe ships are Scandinavia's finest, offers passengers short cruises of comparable standards. The best way to combine a European vacation

with a five-star cruise is to sail with

Silja. Leave the Continent from cermany on our Finniet to

Scandinavia. From Helsinki or Turku it is a short luxurious cruise to Stockholm.

Whichever of our five fabulous ships you choose,

you'll be in good company with the more than 2.6 million passengers who travel annually on Silja Line. Our guests

find spacious accommodations, superb food, great facilities for relaxation and entertainment, gracious European service, and duty-free shopping. And with a view

toward memoriesi Silja liners sail through the most pictufesque archipelagos in the world.

If on Silja Line the fun is gefting there, then we just doubled your enjoyment. The heart of our fleet of five ships is twin super liners launched in 1990 and 1991. Silja Serenade and Silja Symphony, linking the Scandinavian

capitals of Helsinki and Stockholm, are the biggest cruise

liners on the seas. Each floating resort is 660 feet

long-

nearly the length of two football fields, weighs in at 58,000 grt tons, and is 12 stories high plus observation deck. The sister ships are unique featuring completely new superstructures and the biggest Promenades on any ship; 460

foot (140 meter) long dining, shopping and entertainment exbavaganz

Finnjet: Linking the Continent and Finland It really wasn't so long ago when traveling between continents and countries meant goinâ&#x201A;Źa by sea. In those days a leisurely sea voyage was rhe only way to go. Of cou$e, tmvei has changed dramatically today with the advent of the airplane, but a sea journey still has its charms. Where else can passenge$ enjoy a stressless environment that featLlres goocl dining, entefiainnent, rclaxation and lavish service?

Travemlinde is a picturesque coastal city dotted with fine beaches and seaside hotels. The atmosphere is pure old wodd, while at the same tine it's nautical in spirit. Don't miss Travemiinde's Casino, or travel a few miles to Ltibeck to see its castle in the micldle of town. Best bet: Hamburg, a necca for shopping and culture, is only about one hour from Travemiinde and Lfibeck.
