Cruise virgins can discover the excitement of the sea thanks to a local author’s new book.

Cruisemaster, by broadcaster and presenter Roger Mallock, from Arundel, helps first-time cruisers realise “why they will have the best holiday experience”.

Mr Mallock said: “Cruisemaster includes royalty, celebrity and images of Britannia and Anthem of the Seas from Royal Caribbean, which will both offer maiden cruises from Southampton. It makes the perfect gift.”
