Around the World in 80 Cruise Ships: How We Cruise Hopped the Globe Without Ever Setting Foot in an Airport

Paperback (Independently published Sept. 1, 2019)
What do you do if you want to travel the world but are too afraid to fly? You go by cruise ship, of course, hopping from one to another to get to your final destination and then home again. Sometimes you have to disembark in the middle of one cruise to catch the next – if the line and the port authorities will let you, that is. Sometimes you have to wait on land a while for the next cruise to turn up. You may be on a tiny ship with only a few hundred other passengers, or on a sleek leviathan for three thousand. You might like the ship, you might not (and this book tells it like it is). But you'll get there – without ever setting foot in an airport. When the Vernes set off to see the Caribbean, Cuba, South America, the Falklands, Antarctica and the Panama Canal, they were determined never to fly (well, it was mostly cowardly Mrs Verne). They went there and back entirely by cruise ship, jumping from Cunard to Celebrity, from Holland America to P&O. In this frank and funny account they unpack the best and the worst about cruising and the many exotic locations they visited – and their dedicated resistance to the efforts of cruise lines to extort more money out of them.
