New addition to the Cruise Ship Fleet

Monarch of Bermuda

In 1919 Furness Bermuda Line was awarded the mail contract for the New York to Bermuda service. This service reached its zenith in the 1930s when Furness Bermuda Line ordered two luxury liners - the Monarch of Bermuda and the Queen of Bermuda. They were both built by Vickers Armstrong Ltd. With these two ships the Bermuda run from New York enjoyed the ultimate in luxury and they became known as "the millionaires ships". The two sister ships sailed on 3 week cruises from New York to Bermuda for Furness-Bermuda Line. More at oceanlinermuseum.co.uk
