A large, heavy book in excellent condition. "There is something about a ship," according to the Foreword of this enticing volume. Two marine historians collaborate in describing this popular cruise line from its beginning until 1995. Intriguing details among the pages are a ship's doctor who refused to shave off his beard but was hired regardless, and adding another ship to the line by cutting one in two and adding a centre section. 253 pp. plus two-page catalog of titles.
