Summary

"A look at the story of cruising, this book documents a whole range of onboard experiences from the interwar heyday of liner transport right through to the present age of the ship as 'floating city'. With the aid of rare archive material as well as new photography, the authors examine all aspects of international cruising - with its many national variations - both elegant and restrained, kitsch and excessive." "Cruise shows how onboard culture has evolved over the decades to suit the changing needs of the cruise lines and their passengers. It is a study of interior and exterior design, of onboard entertainment, food and changes in the dining experience, of corporate identity, ephemera and graphics. Packed with illustrations, Cruise celebrates over a century of passenger seafaring and will appeal to anyone who has travelled the high seas, or who yearns to do so."--BOOK JACKET.
