THE PULLMAN
COMPANY
CUBAN
TOURS
SEASON 1925
—————
THE
CUBAN SPECIAL
The Pullman Company in
conjunction with the United Railways of Havana and
The Cuba
Railroad has
arranged a series of particularly
attractive, personally conducted tours of Cuba in specially fitted sleeping
cars. The tours will cover points of special interest, both scenic and
historic, between Havana and Santiago de Cuba, a journey of over one thousand
miles where every detail that will add to the comfort, convenience and
pleasure of tourists has been considered. The train will be in charge of
experienced employees of The Pullman Company, who will render the same high
grade service to which travelers in the United States have become
accustomed. Interpreters familiar with the Spanish and English languages
and thoroughly acquainted with the territory will accompany each tour. Only
a limited number of passengers will be accommodated, insuring the journey
being made under the most comfortable conditions. Exclusive use of a car,
including the service of meals in the observation parlor, may be arranged
for the accommodation of a single party if desired.
