THE MOST INTERESTING SHIP IN THE WORLD?
A FOUR NIGHT PASSAGE ON THE HARSHA VARDHANA
Presented by Tom Rinaldi
Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35th Street, Manhattan
This January, WSS PONY member Tom Rinaldi sailed out of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) aboard what in his view might well be the most interesting ship in the world: the Shipping Corporation of India's 9,700-gross-ton MV HARSHA VARDHANA, which entered service in 1974. If the HARSHA VARDHANA isn't quite everyone's idea of the world's most interesting ship, she is indisputably one of the world's very last true ocean liners, making line voyages carrying passengers and cargo across the Bay of Bengal. Please join us for an evening in which Tom will describe his four-night passage from Kolkata to the Andaman Islands for an unusual voyage aboard this very unusual ship.

OCEANIA CRUISES' MV INSIGNIA MARITIME ENTHUSIASTS CRUISE
For the first time ever, Oceania Cruises will offer 7-night round-trip sailings from New York to Bermuda in 2019. And at just 30,000 tons and 700 passengers, the INSIGNIA will be able to call at the traditional Bermuda ports of Hamilton and St. George’s, which are off limits to today’s mega-ships—the first ship in years to offer this itinerary from New York. Come join fellow PONY Branch members for this rare chance to take part in the time-honored tradition of cruising from New York to Bermuda in one of today’s finest ships. See flyer for details.
