Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Matson Line’s SS Lurline “was” Hawaii in the 1950s… Excerpted from Michael L. Graceon on CruiseLineHistory "In the 1950s, a cruise to Hawaii was sailing round-trip from California to Honolulu (alternating between San Francisco and Los Angeles) on Matson Line’s SS Lurline. The first class ship made the crossing in 4 and 1/2 days. Most passengers spent 9 days in Hawaii before returning to the California major cities. It was an American flag ship with an all American crew. SS Lurline was the third Matson Lines vessel to hold that name and the last of four fast and luxurious ocean liners that Matson built for the Hawaii and Australasia runs from the West Coast of the United States. Lurline’s sister ships were SS Malolo, SS Mariposa and SS Monterey. Lurline served as a troopship inWorld War II operated by War Shipping Administration agents serving Army troop transport requirements. Rechristened in 1963 by Chandris Lines as the MS Ellinis, the ship became one of the most important luxury cruise ships on the Australian and New Zealand services. She operated in Australasia and Oceania until 1980."
