 Home Lines
Home Lines was formed at Genoa in 1946, but their ships
were registered in Panama. Passenger services were originally operated
between Genoa and South America and later to North American ports. By
the mid-1960s the company had switched mostly to cruising.and in 1988
was taken over by Holland America
Line.
