n Without Prejudice - Elegance and beauty washed with luxury : lifestyle gateway

Abstract

Browsing through a family album dating back to the middle of the last century, I came across a photo of our family leaning over the rail of a Union Castle line, the Edinburgh Caste, en route to Durban, via East London and back to Port Elizabeth. More trips followed on the famous Pretoria Castle, Windsor Castle, to name but a few and then all that faded into oblivion until we became familiar with a new concept - "cruising," vastly different from just "sailing" in the fifties: now frightfully fashionable, luxurious, and perfect for those who hate living out of suitcases.
