Cruise Lines

Cruise lines were the dominant mode of transportation during the early half of the 20th century, and largely run by Great Britain. However, during the last half of this period, France, Italy, and United States lines began competing with larger and faster ships. After World War II, air travel overtook the cruise lines, even thought transatlantic passage was just 3 days, 10 hours, and 40 minutes in 1952. During the next few years, cruise liners were regulated to cruise ships or floating museums. The articles included herein relate to cruise lines.
