SS Nieuw Amsterdam of 1938 to Greece in 1954?

Here's a delightful 16mm COLOR home movie shot in 1954 during what appears to be a cruise to Greece aboard HAL's 1938 Dutch Deco Masterpiece SS Nieuw Amsterdam. I haven't been able to find any documentation to show that this cruise happened, but the cans were labeled "Greece 1954" so you be the judge. The Nieuw Amsterdam is one of my absolute favorite ships, and was so successful that she would last for another 20 years before finally being scrapped in 1974!

@sanderrodijk Sorry, but I've had too many videos stolen and incorporated into other videos, so I watermark them not unlike a network TV broadcast. This is an expensive hobby, and I like to share the videos with other ship/nostalgia enthusiasts free on YouTube and without advertisements... I hope the little logo didn't distract from your enjoyment too much. :)

NA looks wonderful in her original livery. Beautiful images of a long-gone era.

I don't believe for a minute that the video is fake. True, Nieuw Amsterdam had 35 years worth of voyages, but this video is real, no question at all
