A real holiday

 

These photos show our travellers cruising the Mediterranean on the SS Moldavia, calling at Lisbon, Madeira and various places in Morocco.

 

The date isn’t given but appears to be the early/mid 1930s – possibly 1935 as the next holiday is dated 1936.

The ship in the shot appears to be the Moldavia, so possibly this is actually a shot of her in the port rather than approaching it
