The tour began in Gdynia, then covered the ports of Constanta-Istanbul-Jaffa-Haifa-Piraeus-Istanbul-Constanta and Gdynia.

Palestinian line was open from September 1933 to 1936. The reason for suspending the operation of this route was the unstable situation in Palestine.
The purpose of Jewish emigration was not only Palestine, but also North America, Latin America (especially Argentina and Brazil) and countries of Europe. In the year 1937 Gdynia left more than 4,000 Jews, 4,865 to be exact. Most of the Danzig Jews were emigrating, but many were also from the depths of Polish, among others Grudziadz. {via sztetl.org.pl}
