Celebrating the majestic passenger liners of the twenties, Great Passenger Ships 1920-1930 looks at well-loved ships, such as Majestic, Olympic, Berengaria, Viceroy of India and Rawalpindi, alongside lesser known but still fascinating vessels. This series follows ships serving all over the world rather than just famed Atlantic liners, with personal anecdotes of the ships and their voyages from passengers and crew alike. The 1920s have become a fabled era for ocean liners, a period of growth and opulence as companies began recovery after the First World War.

Featuring unpublished photographs in a stunning colour section, Great Passenger Ships 1920-1930 showcases the zenith of ocean travel in the 1920s.
