This paper examines how for many years, ships were the only means of travel between many parts of the world and therefore,
were a major means of transportation. Today, air
travel has become the preferred means of travel, especially when there is a need to travel long distances and one is short of time. It looks at how point-to-point
steamship travel may connect one to one's destination, but this mode of transport is by no means as popular as is sailing purely for pleasure, on a cruise. Cruise travel is usually a round trip and is considered as a total unit, while point-to-point steamship travel is undertaken between two or more ports.
