Matson Cruise
Hawaii-Pago-Tahiti-Los Angeles
IN August of last year the Matson Line ran a cruise to Tahiti, for the bene fit of American, Australian and New Zealand tourists. This cruise, which was something of an experiment, was so successful that plans have been made for another cruise to Tahiti in May—but, this time, mostly for Ameri cans.
The “Mariposa” will leave Los Angeles on May 24, visit Honolulu on May 29, and arrive at Pago Pago (American Samoa) on June 3.
Here, the “Mariposa” will meet the north-bound “Monterey”, and a change over will take place. The American tourists will transfer from the “Mari posa” to the “Monterey”. The “Mari posa” will continue on her regular run to Fiji, New Zealand and Australia, and the tourist-laden “Monterey” will leave Pago Pago on the same day (June 3) and arrive at Papeete on June 6.
Arrangements have been made so that the tourists will have three full days in Tahiti before returning to Los Angeles on June 9. Thus the Americans will make a round tour of Hawaii, American Samoa and Tahiti; and Australians and New Zealanders on the “Monterey” will visit Fiji, Pago Pago, Papeete and then on to America —but they will miss Hawaii.
