The long-time leader in cruise ship evaluation, Steven B. Stern completely updates this guide every year to provide the most current and accurate descriptions of more than 280 cruise ships. These listings include not only Alaskan, Mediterranean, and Caribbean cruises, but also offbeat destinations like European barge trips and more. Each new edition also contains actual shipboard menus, activity schedules, price categories, and hints on how to best enjoy an eight-hour stay in port.
