Sitmar Cruises, or Sitmar Lines, aka Societa Italiana Transporti Marittimi, was founded in 1937 by Russian Imigrant to Italy, Alexandre Vlasov. Initially, the line consisted of two freighters carrying coal to Medieterranean ports. Immediately post-WWII, Vlasov contracted with the International Refugee Organization to transport European refugees to Australia and other countries.
By the 1950s, the line was offering regular passenger transportation between European, Canadian, North, Central and South American ports, and Australian Ports. In the 1980s, the line was sold to P&O Lines.Collection
