The cruise ship was a British idea, first proposed in the late 1830s. From the 1840s, P&O encouraged passengers to take holidays on its line voyages, even getting William Makepeace Thackeray to extol the virtues of the Mediterranean sea route to Egypt. This text looks at the 160 year history of the British cruise ship.
