Description
The worldwide cruise industry is booming-alone, there are some 56 new cruise ships being built or planned (2018).
Cruise ships visit ports around the world. And the ships themselves are amenity-filled, moving resorts.
But when did it all begin? This book looks at the evolution of cruising, from the mid-nineteenth century.
It chronicles the growth of long, luxury cruising in the Twenties and then, in the Depression-era Thirties, cruising reaches the general public as a form of escape.
By the late Sixties, purposeful cruise ships were being built and these spawned today's fleet, including the largest passenger ships ever built.
