Having an insatiable spirit of adventure & also a highly inquisitive mind most of Christian Lambs`s cruises were for a distinct purpose rather than just lying hedonistically on a deckchair in the sun. Sometimes she followed the routes of old seafaring explorers, other times visited sites of botanical interest (being a distinguished plantswoman), & on occasions just gone to see friends in far flung corners of the world. Cruising Along captures the very essence of ship-board life on all sorts of vessels
- from the very large liners to the small troop ships
- with destinations as varied as Singapore, New Zeal&, Chile & New York, to name but a few. Each cruise has its own particular character & Christian has the ability to observe & comment on the individual ship & to remark, often with wry humour, on her fellow passengers as well as the crew. She puts places & people into historical context & records the changing face of sea cruises over ninety or so years.
