Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie. Not set on a modern day cruise ship, but it is set on a ship that cruises the Nile. Excellent mystery read.

Anything by Bill Bryson. He is an author who writes on his travels. He lived in Australia for 20 years (In a Sunburned Country) and moved back to America. Also has novels about his travels in Europe. He is extremely funny also.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question or not, so bear with me. I'm looking for some fiction novels set on modern cruise ships...and I hate those cheap, trashy, Harlequin-type romances, so none of that, please. I don't even know if such a book exists, but if you have any ideas, please let me know!

 

Also, while I'm at it, can anyone recommend any good novels about foreign travel in general? Fiction, preferably European locales, though anywhere is fine... I'm looking for stories about people traveling to or moving to foreign countries rather than books that simple use, say, London as a setting for an ordinary ole story. Thanks!

I love the Far Pavilions, it is one of my all-time favorite books. Shadow of the Wind is excellent as well. They are both great beach reads.

I like to bring one epic book and this one is so wonderful it has it all

Edmund Fuller review says " were Miss Kaye to produced no other book The Far Pavilions might stand as a lasting accomplishment in a single work comparable to Margaret Mitchell's achievement in Gone with the wind it is about a man you was raised as an native of India during the 1800's only to find out his parents are really English so he thinks in two worlds, it has a great love story, history, palace intrigue, murder, and just every satisfying thing in a book

 

Enjoy
