Synopsis
Since their development in the 1850s, ocean liners have been far more than simply passenger ships - they were also the conduit for enormous technological, social and global cultural change. This four-part series is an international story told from a uniquely Australian point of view about the most romantic ships ever built.

The final episode tells of the post-Boeing years, when the liners were running half-empty and all seemed doomed to the breaker's yard. Then came the age of the cruise -- and companies like Disney and Royal Caribbean now vie to outdo each other with ever larger and more luxurious floating cities.
