There is a number of prominent shipping companies, too; which,

while they do not compete in the business of round pleasure cruises, offer special facilities and fares to tourists on their ordinary sailings. The Bibby Line, for instance, will issue return holiday tickets to Egypt, Palestine, and the Sudan during the summer. First-class passengers only are carried by their ships, the return fare to Port Said being quoted at £85. The Cunard and White Star Lines will again offer special oppor- tunities for visiting America. The return voyage for Tourist- Third Cabin accommodation can be booked for as little as £38.
