---

Discover how world cruising has changed over time, contrasting diary extracts and old guide books with a modern world cruise.

  • Superbly illustrated from the author’s own private collection of photographs, many previously unpublished
  • A unique access to behind the scenes as well as a different approach to the subject
  • Contributions from passengers, officers and shoreside staff of P&O Cruises  
  • The author is a well-known maritime writer who is passionate about cruising and cruise ships 

Romance is still attached to sea travel: cruising the world’s oceans in luxury and sailing to far-flung destinations as the first explorers did hundreds of years ago. Some cities are seen at their best by ship, gradually revealing themselves as it sails closer – Malta, Sydney and San Francisco to name a few. 

The Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co. and, today P&O Cruises, have been taking people all over the world since 1837. 

Join the author on a world cruise in P&O Cruises’ 180th celebration year. Using extracts from old diaries, guide books and accounts, Sharon Poole compares cruising today with yesteryear. Get a captain’s view of this special voyage and discover what goes into making it a unique experience. 

The author was commissioned to assist in planning the itinerary and special excursions, visiting ports that were instrumental in the growth of P&O and which still welcome their ships today. 

Discover amazing countries, cultures and sights on a journey that circumnavigates the world in what is a beautiful blend of travelogue and history.
