The placing into service of the two fast and luxurious liners “REX” and “CONTE DI SAVOIA” has marked the inauguration of quicker service between North America and Central, Southern and Eastern Europe.

The two super-express steamers take only six and a half days to effect the crossing from ITALY to NEW YORK. The European ports of call are NAPLES, GENOA, NICE and GIBRALTAR, where the fast Ocean crossing commences.

This new service with its exceptional rapidity is attracting an always larger number of passengers who are desirous of travelling on the pleasant Southern Route. In addition to the advantage of embarkation at the principal Mediterranean centres served by speedy communications by land, sea and air, such as Naples, Genoa and Nice, travellers are also offered the priviledge of enjoying life on board these most modern and fast ships on a route famous for the mildness of its clime, which makes the crossing a wonderfully pleasant experience.

Due to their technical appliances, the furnishing of the different classes, the perfect organisation of all their services, the “REX” and “CONTE DI SAVOIA” are among the finest liners of the world’s mercantile marine.
