SOLAS requirements of 2010 may end the service of many fine cruise ships. We want to remind you that many historic ships will be removed from passenger service at the end of this decade, some are even no longer in service at U. S. ports. Although many are well-cared for, some are not; but the appeal for you may be the classic silhouette or remembrance of past sailings on a specific ship. Katy has the experience of booking these ships and looks forward to helping you re-create your dream. Here are some highly recommended examples.

Public rooms are intimate and extensively decorated in wood and brass.

SEA CLOUD's sleek, snow-white hull curves from stem to stern, with her masts stretching high into the sky. Teak decks, mahogany woodwork and gleaming brass, along with thousands of square feet of brilliant white sails are meticulously maintained by her topside crew. The opulence continues inside, with original staterooms offering antique furnishings, ornate fireplaces and Carrara marble bathrooms. Newer cabins also offer a high degree of comfort and elegance, with rosewood and brass decor, marble baths and large windows.
