Cruise ships fashion



It is the last word in cruise ships fashion and design: to have the hulls decorated with art. It all started in 1968 with the American liner INDEPENDENCE but was not well accepted at the time. It was revived more recently by AIDA cruises with the red lips and Aida looks over the sides. It was followed by another German concern, the short lived A'Rosa Cruises, and more recently also used by the Star Cruises associated Norwegian Cruise Lines.
These days of ultra original brands and images, the multi coloured huls are here to stay. The more originalities the more I enjoy the all white hulls of P&O or Princess Cruises or the dark hulls of the classic looking Cunarders...
