This unique reference book has established itself as the leading handbook not only for those sailors who actually go offshore cruising, but also for the thousands who enjoy coastal cruising and dream of the big journey across the ocean. With new, spectacular photos by the world-famous marine photographer, Onne van der Wal, this comprehensive book is a must for anyone who is ready to get serious about cruising. One of the most thorough primers to come along in quite some time. If you're dreaming of heading offshore or are already into your first few years of crossing oceans, The Handbook of Offshore Cruising is an invaluable resource. Cruise Savvy , a new book by veteran ocean liner and cruise ship author and lecturer John Maxtone-Graham, will be published by Sheridan House this October.
Pax is cruise line shorthand for passenger.
No two cruises or two cruise ships are either alike or comparable. Every sea journey, whether Caribbean circuit, Alaskan excursion or ocean crossing, remains unique. Sea time is magic. Although seven million Americans happily go cruising each year, about 75 million could but never do. Cruise Savvy is designed to seduce that vast, land-locked majority aboard.
