HISTORY -- One of three contemporary well known British cruise ships, the Andes, Caronia and Reina del Mar, Andes can be regarded as one of the finest passenger ships of her time. Andes could compete with Cunard's famous Caronia of 1949 in terms of luxury and service. Originally, she had been built to the highest standards, as Royal Mail intended her to be the finest ship ever on the Latin American run. Andes was ordered from the famous Harland & Wolff shipyard at Belfast.

HISTORY -- The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was a British shipping company founded in London in 1839 by a Scot, James MacQueen.  The line's motto was Per Mare Ubique (everywhere by sea).  After good and bad times it became the largest shipping group in the world in 1927 when it took over the White Star Line.  The company was liquidated and its assets taken over by the newly formed Royal Mail Lines in 1932 after financial trouble and scandal; over the years RML declined to no more than the name of a service run by former rival Hamburg.

HISTORY -- The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was a British shipping company founded in London in 1839 by Scot James Macqueen. After good and bad times it became the largest shipping group in the world in 1927 when it took over the White Star Line. So much of Britain's shipping industry was involved in RMSPC that arrangements were made to guarantee the continuation of ship operations after it was liquidated. The Royal Mail Lines Ltd (RML) was created in 1932 and took over the ships of RMSPC and other companies of the former group
