There is still some romance attached to the idea of sea travel;
cruising the world's oceans in luxury and comfort; sailing to
far-flung destinations as the first explorers did hundreds of years
ago. Some cities are seen at their best by an arrival by water,
gradually revealing themselves as the ship sails ever closer-Malta,
Sydney and San Francisco to name a few. The Peninsular &
Oriental Steam Navigation Co. and, today P&O Cruises, have been
taking passengers all over the world since 1837. Join the author on
a world cruise in P&O Cruises' 180th celebration year. Find out
how world travel has changed, and, in some cases, has not. Using
extracts from old diaries, guide books and accounts, the writer
compares cruising today with yesteryear. Get a captain's view of
this special voyage; discover what goes into making it a unique
experience; how they prepare over 7,500 meals every day. The author
was commissioned to assist in planning the itinerary and special
excursions, visiting ports that were instrumental in the growth of
P&O and still welcome their ships today. Discover amazing
countries, cultures, and sights on a journey that circumnavigates
the world. A blend of travelogue and history.
