In less than 150 pages, Klein successfully reveals the underbelly of cruise ship vacations. Most vacationers are attracted to the easy excess of the affordable, all inclusive cruise ships getaways that offer both familiar comforts at sea and exotic port excursions on shore. However, Klein exposes the not so glamorous realities of sexual assault, environmental degradation, precarious health conditions and economic and labour exploitation that are complicit in the practice and nature of cruise vacations.
