Through an impressive and unique collection of imagery, this new and updated edition of A Photographic History of P\u0026amp;O Cruises details the history of the cruise line and explores the impact the company had in shaping the British Empire.   With a vast fleet of ocean liners that undertook voyages to all parts of the globe, P\u0026amp;O was instrumental in immigration to Australia and New Zealand, while acting as a gateway to the Far East and India. After the advent of jet aircraft, the venerable company reorganised its services to offer pleasure cruises. In Australia, P\u0026amp;O held a near monopoly during the 1980s and '90s, with their ships Oriana and Fairstar.   Today, as part of the giant Carnival Corporation, P\u0026amp;O Cruises remains an iconic brand, offering British-based cruises, world voyages and a specialist Australian subsidiary that sails into the South Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45469782638813,"sku":"9781803994376","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781803994376.jpg?v=1720175336","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781803994376","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
