Around the World on the QE2, Vol 1: China to England (Paperback)

An account of the first half of a journey around the world on on the QE2, the last of the great ocean liners. Much faster than other cruise ships because she had been build originally for fast travel between London and New York, she was converted to a cruise ship when airlines took over that traffic. By the time the authors took their cruises aboard the ship she still retained her speed and luxury but was nearing the end of her useful life.
