This extensive volume, newly updated and expanded, provides a complete history of the British cruise ship, from the dawn of cruising through the glamorous 1930s and up to the current fleets of dedicated cruise ships. It takes a nostalgic look back at ships such as P&O’s white sisters, the Caronia —the first dedicated cruise ship—and such modern vessels as Andes , Canberra , Victoria , and QE2 . Roger Cartwright is the coauthor with Clive Harvey of The Saga Sisters . Clive Harvey is the editor of Sea Lines magazine and the author of RMS Empress of Britain and Normandie: Liner of Legend .
