Cruising Along

A charming and witty personal memoir of one woman's sea-faring adventures over the course of 80 years

Sea cruises are embedded in Christian Lamb's DNA. Having an insatiable spirit of adventure and also a highly inquisitive mind most of her trips were for a distinct purpose rather than just lying hedonistically on a deckchair in the sun. Sometimes she followed the routes of old seafaring explorers, other times visited sites of botanical interest, and on occasions just went to see friends in far flung corners of the world. This delightful personal memoir captures the very essence of shipboard life on all sorts of vessels—from the very large liners to the small troop ships. It also takes the reader on a journey around the world, to Singapore, New Zealand, Chile, and New York to name but a few, accompanied by Christian's unique narrative and commentary.
