My daughter got this for me at a thrift store (it's 25 years old!), since I love cruising. It is a beautiful (and very heavy) book, which ranks 100 ports of call throughout the world. The photos are incredible, and the text is very well-written, by a different author for each section. I really enjoyed this armchair trip around the world, but it was sad to see the twin towers of the World Trade Center soaring above Cunard's QE2. How things have changed since then!

The art work is beautiful and the writing is good! I just didn't want to read about the different ports of call.

Interesting look at the big cruise liner ships.
