Romantic music and dancing... elegant food and cocktails... supervised children's playroom... theatre... comfortable lounges and sun decks... sparkling entertainment... all await your pleasure. Daily summer sailings, moderate fares. See your Auto Club, travel agent or THE AQUARAMA LINE"; originally a WWII C4 military vessel called the "Marine Star", the Aquarama was converted in the early 1950s into a luxury cruise ship carrying up to 2500 passengers and 165 automobiles.
