As the music from the dance-band drifts from the ballroom into the bracing night air, strolling couples idle romantically by the ship's rails, gazing into the starlit night. The breeze from the great liner's quietly powerful onward motion ripples through their hair and elegant evening wear. This is the epitome of the age of the great liner, a time when comfort abounded and the upper classes revelled in outrageous luxury. Using nostalgic archive footage, contemporary newsreels and still photographs, this film looks at the ships, the trips and the passengers of the Great Liner era.
