Unused Baggage Tag
THE BIG RED BOAT
(Premier Cruise Lines)

circa 1997

Unused baggage tag from the Oceania, which was Premier Cruise Line's original Big Red Boat.   The front is bordered by nautical flags on a field of red, with Premier Cruises and The Big Red Boat in the center.  The back has places to fill in the bag owner's information, all of which are still blank.  The original string for affixing the tag to the luggage is still attached.

SIZE: Approximately 4.25" by a little over 2.75"
Condition: Very Good, if not Excellent


The Oceanic first sailed for Home Lines until 1986, when she was purchased by Premier Cruise Lines.  It was there that she was called the Big Red Boat.  (There were also Big Red Boats II through IV.)  Since 2001, she has been sailing Spanish and Mediterranean waters, once again as the Oceanic, but now for Pullmantur, a Spanish line recently acquired by Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.
