Cruise ship tourism

This book is an addition to CABI’s excellent list of tourism books and it is the third that I have been
involved in as editor, the first as sole editor. I have always been fascinated by the sea, perhaps a legacy
of my early childhood spent collecting information about the cruise ships of the day (in the late 1950s
and early 1960s), which I then kept and catalogued in scrap books. My interest was further enhanced in my teenage years when my father owned a gaff rigged schooner named Kotiti (Maori for wanderer). It was one of the larger yachts of its time on which we sailed and raced in the yachting A Class Division on Waitemata Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand. Kotiti also raced and cruised in the South Pacific, so my love of the sea, geography, harbours, ships and ports also expanded.
