Vivid stories of 1980s sea and river voyages recall vanished ships and living routes across oceans.
On All the Seven Seas: Travel Aboard Passenger Ships is a collection of stories of various sea and river voyages made by the author in the 1980s. Some ships featured are now gone, leaving precious memories that have become the substance of pure maritime nostalgia. Others are still plying the globe, taking on new passengers, generating new memories with every stretch of water crossed. The stories include experiences on vessels as illustrious as QE2 and as obscure as Poland's little Stefan Batory. Going far beyond the ordinary, the author recounts taking a twelve-passenger containership to the Far East, joining a mail steamer along the fabled Norwegian coast in the depths of winter, and getting swept up in a carnival cruise in the sunny Caribbean. On All the Seven Seas is a love letter to the world’s rivers, seas and oceans and the passenger-carrying vessels that ply them.
