11. Swedish ships, of the Swedish American Line, are among the most attractive I have ever used. I have crossed on the earlier Kungsholm, on the Grip-sholm (see above under 6) and on the postwar Stockholm, and I have visited every part of the new Kungsholm when it was on its maiden trip to New York in December, 1953. This is a marvel of a ship, newer than day after tomorrow, and I am not using such a burbling phrase emotionally. Its special quality lies in its special design, whereby it can be transformed, in the twinkling of a steward's . eye, from a first-and-tourist ship to an all-first ship, for cruises in the caribbean sailing cruises or elsewhere.
On The Other Hand See Galleon Sailing Ships:9. Norwegian ships of the Norwegian Line comprise, at present, two Norse fjords," the newer Oslofjord (13,300 tons) and the older Stavangerfjord 16,500 tons), galleon sailing ships from New York to Bergen, Stavanger and Kristiansand, ben through the Skagerrak and up to the Norwegian capital, Oslo. A third, the krgensfjord, is now on the ways. The nation whose intrepid raiders scoured known and unknown seas a thousand years ago should be able, by this time, to run transatlantic ships effectively, and certainly it does.
Sports for participation include hiking, fishing, bathing, galleon sailing ships, and, in winter, skiing (especially at Are), skijoring (being drawn on skis by a trotting horse), skate-galleon sailing ships and, most thrilling of all, ice yachting. If the last three venturesome sports call you, the Tourist Association will give you a steer on how to go about engaging in them.
