On the couch: Brian Ingpen on cruise ships

Pippa Hudson chats to maritime historian Brian Ingpen about the history and growth of cruise ships in Cape Town, from early mail vessels to today’s global industry. The conversation is inspired by his new book, On Passage to Cape Town, and touches on iconic liners, the city’s rise as a cruise destination, and the industry’s economic impact.
