Synopsis

Not so long ago, magnificent ocean liners unmatched in opulence by todays vessels sailed the seas from NewYork to Rio, Alexandria to Marseilles, and from Southampton to Singapore. In this enchanting book, presented in a slipcase made to resemble a battered steamer trunk, these legendary ships The Normandie, The Mauretania and The Majestic are gloriously resurrected through photographs, posters, watercolours, advertising art, memorabilia and more. Gerard Piouffre, author of "Luxury Liners: Life on Board", leads readers on an illustrated tour of these great liners, from glamorous dining rooms and gleaming table services to elaborate staterooms and exquisite salons. Divided into six fantastic journeys, "First Class" is an unparalleled celebration of the elegance, sophistication and comfort of a bygone era in ocean travel.
