Read Cruise through History stories before you take a cruise, when planning travel, or just dreaming of travel. The stories are all well-researched and true, yet they are entertaining and fun. History in school was never like this. Once again the stories are distilled from hundreds of source materials, mined for the fun facts of saints and soldiers, who bequeathed the landscape of castles, cathedrals and monuments of culture visited on a typical cruise itinerary. Accompanied by hundreds of photos and original art to illustrate the stories, go beyond where guide books take readers, to deepen enjoyment of your travels. In Cruise through History stories, meet inspiring characters from history. Itinerary 12 of Cruise through History's latest release, ninth in the series, includes tales found in Ports of the North Sea, where kings, queens and generals step down to allow Vikings and merchant contributions to shine. Founding cities, typically the prerogative of royals, have lesser impact in the North Sea, where Vikings had mastery of the North Sea. As Vikings found new prime farm land, became Christianized and settled into calm, terrestrial pursuits, commerce flowed freely in the North Sea. Reigning mastery of the North Sea passed from Vikings to merchants. Merchants built cities.

Stories in Itinerary XIII of Cruise through History travel from West Africa in Senegal, along the coast to South Africa and Mozambique, across the Indian Ocean islands to Sri Lanka, and to India, then across Southeast Asia to Vietnam. Across the modern nations, products of the twentieth century, there are themes common to all, though peoples are varied. The theme that joins is the search for, and restoration of, cultural identity. In appreciation of culture, too long co-opted, this volume of stories goes within cultures, to present history and culture from the perspective of the host country. To travel is to learn. Malaysia built a successful nation and dynamic economy by first defining who is Malay. To do so meant jettisoning the island of Singapore, overwhelmingly culturally Chinese. Singapore capitalized on its strength by unifying its people and promising First World lifestyle if they would heave to a common goal. Thailand's identity was the product of a brilliant king, who created the concept of national Thai from people with languages so diverse, they did not understand each other. Loss of culture and cultural icons in Cambodia left the country bereft. So many problems plaguing West African nations today stem from loss of culture, land, people and resources. Reclaiming identity is critical. Primary to each story is an introduction to culture of the people. The list of peoples of this itinerary is long. So too, is the list of World Heritage Sites, attempts to preserve and promote cultural identity by support for remaining cultural icons. The oldest cultures in human existence are in Africa. The story of West Africa begins in three parts, the first West Africa to 1500, prior to European impact, is the story of cultural development of kingdoms of power and beauty. Bushmen of Southern Africa carry the basic gene of humanity and a life in tune with a harsh environment. In the stories of the Indian Ocean is the Story of the Eastern Sea. The story of People of Southeast Asia is an attempt to follow human migration to understand the origin of people, groups, now nations. Slavery and colonialism are common themes throughout these stories. Slavery existed prior to European impact, as a means to vanquish enemies, and obtain labor, a scarce resource, necessary to build great kingdoms. Slavery in the pre-European sense was fluid. Slaves often melded into the dominant society. In contrast, European style slavery depopulated communities, dissipated historic kingdoms, and deprived national development by loss of its people. That is Part II of the story of West Africa. The lesser known story of West Africa is Part III Colonialism. Colonialism in these stories is a scheme that keeps people in place and harvests the resources for the benefit of the colonizer. Trade among peoples built cities and kingdoms in Ivory Coast and Gold Coast Ghana, Mozambique, Sri Lanka and kingdoms of Myanmar, Up the Irrawaddy - Yangon to Mandalay. Colonialism displaced governments, local economies, and most important, cultural identity. The political map of Africa was created in a meeting room in Germany, where nations of Europe staked claims to real estate, with no relevance to cultures. Portugal, Spain, the Dutch, Britain and France came for trade and stayed to colonize. When colonialism ebbed, in recent history, the extent to which the colonizer developed physical and governmental infrastructure played a role in success of a young nation. France, never profiting from a colony, brought peace to Cambodia, for the first time in its history, yet created a thirty year war in Vietnam, through intransience and refusal to work with the developing country as a mentor. In Africa stories include the Golden Stool, and meaning of Kente Cloth. In India the story is the Jewel in the Crown and story of diamonds. Success of India and Sri Lanka to emerge strong from colonialism is based retaining richness of culture.

In the Winter of 2007, my wife and I came upon the idea of taking an around the world cruise. Our reasoning: most importantly, we were both in good health and were not limited physically from enjoying all the experiences such a trip could provide; we were both retired and could reasonably afford such a trip if we were prudent in selecting among all of the add-on op-tions. We had taken multiple Caribbean cruises over the years and were "ship ready" and we had great curiosity about the numerous variances in world cultures as well as topographies. We decided upon a Holland America cruise upon the flag ship Amsterdam. The route was a sleep friendly west to east, leaving and arriving from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Our cruise de-parted on January 4, 2008 and arrived back at Ft. Lauderdale on April 27, 2008 -- a total of 113 days, covering 35,936 nautical miles and stops at 41 ports. An itinerary of our cruise is included as an appendix. As we concluded the arrangements for our cruise, we promised our friends and relatives to send regular emails of our adventures. We gathered information from various sources to compose our emails as the cruise progressed. The normal course of accumulating historical facts and descriptions of current culture and local customs were gained in advance from highly educated speakers brought aboard ship prior to each disembarkment. Typically, these speakers were natives of the countries or environments they described. We closely followed and took copious notes of these presentations, delivered in the ship's auditorium. A second source of information along a broad spectrum of topics were the native guides assigned to our groups on shore excursions, be they by foot, bus or water craft. Without excep-tion, the local guides were invaluable in presenting the realities of their countries, environments and life styles. Lastly, each of our shore excursions produced vivid and unique impressions of our envi-ronments that would be in addition to, and sometimes counter, to our on board presenters and our shore guides. Little did we know that our collection of emails and photos would later become chapters in a book. Our advice to our readers -- it is better to experience it live than read about it. Should you decide to take such an around the world cruise we wish you Bon Voyage. Jim & Connie Cameron
