Description The worldwide cruise industry is booming--alone, there are some 56 new cruise ships being built or planned (2016).
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 pub.
