Information and notes on the back album cover includes the following:
Raoul Meynard is a name well-known to the experienced traveler. The favorite maestro along the Rivieras of France and Italy, Meynard, along with His Orchestra, has provided ideal backgrounds to dining and romancing in the plushest hotels from Marseilles to Napoli. Stay-at-homers in America have, by now, accepted the Meynard touch as synonymous with elegant, jaunty stylings. Now, they're in for a special treat: Meynard's first round-the-world cruise. The stop-overs (where Meynard's orchestra adapts itself to the native musical flavor as quickly as tourists find American Express) form a Where's Where for the visa-heavy tourist.
