MS Kungsholm (1953)

The cruise was repeated in 1956. This advert for The Cruise of a Lifetime shows why a postal service on
board was an essential means of communication for passengers.

M.S. l(UNGSHOLM
Cruise Around the World

January 7 to April 13, 1956

Mail for members of the cruise may be sent by AIR
MAIL to most ports of call. The table shown on pages 2
and 3 of this folder gives the arrival date of the KUNGSHOLM
at the various ports and the U. S. postage rates, as well as
Port Agents' names, addresses and their cable addresses.
It is recommended that the sender allow at least TEN
DAYS for mail to reach its destination. This will enable
us to endeavor having the mail distributed to the pas-
sengers' staterooms immediately on the ship's arrival.
The Swedish American Line cannot be held responsible for
alteration of mail schedules or for non-receipt of mail and
cables. All mail should bear the writer's name and home
address. It is important that all envelopes be plainly
marked "PASSENGER, KUNGSHOLM WORLD CRUISE'.' aad
addressed in care of our port agents. It is of equal impor-
tance to have the passenger's cabin number on the en-
velope as thousands of pieces of mail are received in every
port which requires many hours in sorting. Sample address
