Description

Experience the romance of sea travel with P&O Cruises, a company that has been taking passengers around the world since 1837. In this unique blend of travelogue and history, author Sharon Poole shares her journey as she celebrates the company's 180th anniversary.

Join Poole on a circumnavigation of the globe, visiting ports that played a significant role in P&O's growth and still welcome their ships today. Along the way, discover how world travel has changed over time, using extracts from old diaries, guide books, and accounts to compare cruising past and present.

From the captain's view of this special voyage to the preparation of over 7,500 meals every day, Poole offers a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making a P&O cruise a unique experience. With its blend of travelogue and history, this book is a fascinating account of one company's long history of taking passengers on unforgettable journeys.
