This is the 28th year that Berlitz has published the guide - the “cruise industry bible” as it’s known by travel specialists - and this fully revised 2013 edition details all the latest trends in what has become an increasingly popular vacation choice.The book is divided into two main parts: the first helps you define what you are looking for in a cruise vacation and advises you on how to find it. It provides a wealth of information, including a look at life aboard ship and how to get the best from it. Specialist cruises are discussed, too, culminating with that ultimate travel experience: the around-the-world cruise. This unrivaled detail is complemented by a vast number of tables and checklists, color photographs and maps.The second section profiles almost 300 ocean-going cruise vessels.
