The Cruise Lines International Association is launching a last-minute bid to keep cruising alive in the French port of Nice. The city's Mayor Christian Estrosi has already signed a decree that pledges to ban ships carrying more than 900 passengers from entering the town's port.
In 1932 the first P&O Australia ship carrying passengers embarked on a seven-day itinerary, making calls to Brisbane and Norfolk Island. 92 years on, the cruise line is on the cusp of sailing of its very final voyages.
APT has just launched the most revolutionary ships on Europe's rivers, with a restaurant and bar that rises to the upper deck on hydraulics, interiors and food designed by Aussie experts.
