World Cruising Destinations Hardcover – September 14, 2010

World Cruising destinations has all the important information for the world cruiser. However for those expecting a guide book or more information on the countries it covers will be disappointed. While each country does have an introduction and basic overview on whats on offer, the book is focused on the facts and figures needed to cruise the destinations, and for that it is a brilliant resource. It is filled with great pictures though, and is still of interest to people not cruising these destinations.Absolutely perfect and highly recommended for what it is, a valuable cruising reference. But others looking for a coffee table read should probably look elsewhere, aside from the beautiful photos throughout, it is not a travel guide.

Nicely sized as a smaller coffee table read, filled with fantastic photography and great information for us sailing the seas. I enjoyed every page and will keep out to add destinations to our bucket lists.

sacrifices indepth coverage of the most favorable and likely places to cruise. Enjoyable overview of world cruising destinations - a reference for further research on specific areas and regions.

As we prepare to sail around the world for several years, we are engrossed in this resource. It contains valuable information for our adventure. I really like the way it is organized by areas of the world and the information will be helpful in scheduling our time in various locations based on wind and weathere information.

This is a well thought out, well laid out bible for your adventures at sea. I recommend it to anyone who is cruising. NOTE YOU MUST GET World Cruising Routes: Sixth Edition AS AN ACCOMPANIMENT. This is 1 of 2 books and they both work in tandem.

it arrived a bit damaged... and also it does not have the info i was expecting.

I highly recommend this book. The Photos are immaculate, the information is exquisite, and it is well written/ organized. It has the feel of a text book to hold, but much easier to peruse.

Even with the availibility of accessing the internet while off shore the information in this book is still valid and useful.
