BRASIL: 1958 - "Carnaval-in-Rio Cruise" brochure from 1966
Moore McCormack Lines: Carnaval-in-Rio Cruise! Just the title conjures up images of the great ships that made the voyage including NORMANDIE, REX, AND LIBERTE.Here is a 22" by 34" fold-out brochure for the BRASIL's cruise to the fabled event in 1966. The ship departed New York on February 9th and arrived back in March 16. Even MooreMac copywriters got the historic vibe. "Cruise with the "champagne touch" of bygone days", they announced.Inside there is a portrait of the handsome liner with Sugar Loaf in the background. Also, there are several interior photos, destination images, rates, and a route map.Fully open there are detailed, color-coded plans of six decks.Although hyped as a Carnaval cruise, it actually was the BRASIL's normal milk-run down to Buenos Aires and back. The ship stopped for just a day-and-a-half at Rio, hardly time to take in the sights.Excellent condition.
