24 page full color brochure for the three August and October 1973 Mediterranean cruises from New York aboard the Holland America Cruises sister ship ss Veendam (the former ss Argentina) and ss Volendam (the former ss Brasil), which had just been acquired by Holland America and refurbished.

The brochure includes an artist's rendition of the ships, a description of the ships and life aboard the ships, descriptions of ports of call and tours ashore, itineraries and sailing schedules, room rates, general info, basic deck plans, diagrams of the different stateroom types, and technical particulars about the ships.

The brochure is in excellent condition with a very small mark on the back cover (see photos).
