Gosh, memories. I went on a school kids’ cruise on a ship like that in 1965 or so. Venice, Corfu, Delphi, Athens, Istanbul. Just like this film. Utterly memorable - and MUCH less crowded than today.

The grand old days when Britain had a proud and respected merchant navy, an era when ships were grand and didn't look like floating apartment blocks cluttered with shopping malls...
