Home LinesHome 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.
