Berlitz Cruising & Cruise Ships

If you want a hassle-free holiday that's virtually pre-paid and lets you see many places while only needing to pack and unpack once, then you should try a cruise. This best-selling book is the cruise industry's guide, providing the information you need to choose the right cruise for you.

Meticulously updated every year by cruise expert Douglas Ward, it is divided into two main parts: the first helps you work out what you're looking for in a cruise holiday and how to find it; the lively text and colour photographs describe every aspect of life on board, including safety, the highs and lows of the cruise experience and how to save money. The second part contains unbiased reviews and fascinating details of almost 300 ocean-going cruise vessels, and grades them on service, food, entertainment, and facilities, using an internationally recognised ratings system.
