Many thanks to P&O Cruises for the outstanding hospitality shown to us during our reunion!

Special greeting to the reunion came from Danish musician Svend Asmussen, who sailed on the Kungsholm
during the fifties, and Claes Feder, the Kungsholm's Chief Architect, now living in Portugal.

Notable participants:
Carl-Eric Olterman was the Victoria/Kungsholm's first captain.
Ulla Chöler and Ingwar Gemzell both served on the Gripsholm, Kungsholm and Stockholm, but on different
ship generations. Ulla was a bath attendant during the fifties, and Ingwar was a steward during the sixties.
Franz Racz, leader of the ship's orchestra, made 26 cruises around the world!

Regardless of which ship we sailed on or which year - the memories we share are the same!
