About the book

This luxury cruise was to test us. Others would probably give their right arm to participate in such a journey. If we still go ahead with it, even if it is the last hurrah in our long life together, will we survive it physically, financially, medically, mentally? And would we, by any chance, actually enjoy it? Or was that too much to ask.

About the author

Wiktor Moszczyński is a prominent figure in the Polish community in the UK. He was formerly editor of the Polish monthly “Orzeł Biały”, a spokesman for the Federation of Poles in Great Britain, former Ealing Councillor, and has a wry, detached view of life.
