From the Publisher:
For over 100 years British shipping lines have used their vessels for cruising. Originally devised as a means of using surplus capacity at times of depression, cruising has grown to become the fastest–growing sector of the British tourist industry. Nowadays, the old liners converted for cruising are almost gone and the market is full of sleek, glamorous cruise ships built to cater to tourists and sailing to locations like the Mediterranean, Alaska and the Caribbean.
