Περιγραφή
“Acclaimed maritime historian William H. Miller presents a vivid collection of photographs charting a century of cruising the ocean waves from the 1920s to the start of the current cruising boom. 100 Years of Cruise Ships in Colour includes many early, often seasonal, liners, along with the more purposeful generation of ‘floating hotels’ that began in the 1960s. There are favourites, such as the pre-Second World War Franconia, Reliance, Nieuw Amsterdam and Normandie; then, in greater numbers, a ‘fleet’ starting from the 1950s and ’60s – ships such as the Caronia, Andes, Queen of Bermuda, Nassau, Italia, Bahama Star, Reina Del Mar, Oceanic, Skyward, Song of Norway, Hamburg, Royal Viking Star and Queen Elizabeth 2. Finally, steaming into the twenty-first century, we see the likes of the Royal Princess, Statendam, Crystal Symphony, Oriana, Queen Mary 2, Allure of the Seas and Viking Star. This is a magnificent ‘scrapbook’ of a great and grand generation of ships.”
