Updated annually, the 700-page book is divided  into two main parts: the first helps you define what you are looking for  in a cruise holiday and advises you on how to find it. It provides a  wealth of factual information as well as a real insight into life aboard  ship and how to get the best from it. We cover safety, dining,  entertainment, standards of service and hospitality, money-saving tips,  cruising for families, singles, senior citizens and disabled travellers.  Specialist cruises are discussed too, such as river cruising, Antarctic  explorer vessels, and around-the-world cruises. This unrivalled detail  is complemented by a vast number of tables and checklists, colour  photographs and maps.    The second section contains detailed  information on almost 300 ocean-going cruise vessels and evaluates them  using an internationally recognised ratings system.     With more than 40 years of experience, and spending some 200 days a  year aboard cruise ships, Douglas Ward evaluates their facilities,  meticulously inspecting each ship. In his quest to bring you the truth  about cruising, no stone is left unturned, from the fluffiness of the  towels to the quality of the china, and from the welcome aboard to the  disembarkation process.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49602235367697,"sku":"GOR006066853","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49627220508945,"sku":"GOR006234904","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50389764505873,"sku":"CIN1780047495G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50400625787153,"sku":"CIN1780047495VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1780047495.jpg?v=1750994757"},{"product_id":"berlitz-guide-to-cruising-and-cruise-ships-book-douglas-ward-9789812685643","title":"Berlitz Guide to Cruising and Cruise Ships","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49608125022481,"sku":"GOR001414297","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9812685642.jpg?v=1750776360"},{"product_id":"berlitz-ocean-cruising-and-cruise-ships-book-douglas-ward-9789812463838","title":"Berlitz Ocean Cruising and Cruise Ships","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49615509291281,"sku":"GOR000911681","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49617366810897,"sku":"GOR001759524","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9812463836.jpg?v=1750904947"},{"product_id":"berlitz-guide-to-cruising-book-douglas-ward-9789812682406","title":"Berlitz Guide to Cruising","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49628688351505,"sku":"GOR001343727","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49640496988433,"sku":"GOR001559351","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52325563662609,"sku":"CIN9812682406G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9812682406.jpg?v=1750872842"},{"product_id":"berlitz-complete-guide-to-cruising-and-cruise-ships-book-douglas-ward-9782831578408","title":"Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising and Cruise Ships","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49649572938001,"sku":"GOR013449367","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50644445135121,"sku":"GOR004316213","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/283157840X.jpg?v=1751445941"},{"product_id":"insight-guides-river-cruising-in-europe-the-usa-cruise-guide-with-free-ebook-book-douglas-ward-9781785732232","title":"Insight Guides River Cruising in Europe \u0026 the USA (Cruise Guide with Free eBook)","description":"Insight Guides River Cruising in Europe \u0026amp; the USA  A river cruise is undoubtedly the most civilised way to see the best of a region; you can relax in the comfort of a small vessel as you glide through beautiful towns and spectacular scenery. But how do you choose which cruise company, which kind of rivership, and where to go? This new edition of River Cruising in Europe \u0026amp; the USA will tell you everything you need to know about taking a cruise along the rivers and waterways of both Europe and the USA.   Written by cruise expert Douglas Ward, the guide gives you unbiased advice on the different kinds of river vessels and the facilities they offer, helping you to make an informed choice. We take you on a journey along Europe's rivers and waterways, describing the highlights along the way - the historic cities and majestic scenery of the Danube, the castles of the romantic Rhine, and much more. This is followed by a dedicated section on cruising the USA's rivers from the Mississippi to the Columbia and Snake, with detailed information on steamboats and the unique aspects of American river cruising.
