Chris Frame - Cruise History

They expanded the line after World War II and it was involved in the assisted passage to Australia. They then developed a Cruise Line which focused on cheap cruises but later reorganised this into the celebrity cruises that we know today - focusing on Bermuda cruising - that was instrumental in the development of many modern day cruising traits.
