Comments
I was a passenger on the final cruise of the SS Northern Star. I'm very interested to get a high resolution scan of this accommodation plan. Would that be possible? The online version does not have the detail to see the cabin number layout.
Please let me know. If there is a charge to get a high resolution PDF, please let me know the cost.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. It would mean a great deal to me to have this.
Kind regards
