Home Lines was an Italian passenger shipping company that operated both ocean liners and cruise ships. The company was founded in 1946, and it ceased operations in 1988. Home Lines were connected to Cosulich Lines, Swedish American Line and Hamburg-America Line. Eugen Eugenides' adopted son Nicolaos Vernicos-Eugenides cofounded the Hamburg Atlantic Line in 1958, and he later served as the CEO of both Home Lines and Hamburg Atlantic Line.

Home Lines was founded in 1946 in Genoa, with Swedish American Line and Cosulich Lines as major shareholders. The connection with Swedish American Line was reflected in the funnel colours of the new company - both SAL and Home Lines had yellow funnels with a blue disc containing crowns.The company purchased their first ship, the Bergensfjord from Norwegian America Line, which was renamed SS Argentina and placed on transatlantic routes from Genoa to South America in 1947. Already in 1946 Home Lines had purchased a second ship, the Swedish American liner Drottningholm she was renamed Brasil and placed alongside the Argentina on Genoa—South America service.In 1948 Home Lines purchased another former Swedish American ship, Kungsholm, that was renamed Italia, as well as the former Matson Lines ship Matsonia, which entered service in 1949 after a reconstruction as the first Atlantic.Home Lines had purchased the laid-up Mariposa from Matson Lines in 1953; she entered service in 1954 as the first Homeric. By 1955 at the latest Home Lines began making cruises from New York to The Bahamas during the winter season.

In 1965 Home Lines took delivery of their first purpose-built ship, Oceanic Although marketed as "the largest ship ever designed for year round cruises",[13] the ship had in fact been originally designed as a two-class liner/cruise ship before Home Lines abandoned transatlantic crossings, and adapted to full-time cruising during construction.

Home Lines continued operating until 1988, when the company was purchased by Holland America Line and its operation merged into those of Holland America.
