The History of celebrity cruises and look at how the line was developed out of the Chandris line

It was formed in the early 20th century by John Chandris who was a Greek shipping magnet and his son's Dimitri and Anthony got involved in business. They expanded the line after World War II and it was involved in the assisted passage to Australia. They then developed a Cruise Line which focused on cheap cruises but later reorganised this into the celebrity cruises that we know today - focusing on Bermuda cruising - that was instrumental in the development of many modern day cruising traits.

I recently lectured on board celebrity cruises for the first time as a guest speaker and presented a lecture about the history of celebrity cruises to a packed out audience on board and also am aware that celebrity is one of the brands that dedicates shipped to the Australian market every summer and is quite popular with repeat guests

Phillip Bradley,  Author of Inferno

One of Australia’s most respected military historians, returns with his most ambitious work yet. Drawing on newly uncovered Australian and German archives, including soldiers’ letters never seen before, Bradley brings the Western Front to life as never before.

We all know Gallipoli. But the Western Front was where Australia’s true identity was forged. Between 1916 and 1918, 300,000 Australians fought in France and Belgium. More than 46,000 never came home. Inferno tells their story—battle by battle—through the eyes of the Diggers and their German foes. It’s a sweeping, emotional history in the tradition of Les Carlyon’s The Great War and Bill Gammage’s The Broken Years.
