THE SEA VOYAGE by Paolo Piccone.

I’ve long been obsessed with cruise liners. There’s some kind of promise of grandeur and escape and luxurious high seas adventure. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when we were asked to work with @virginvoyages. During the research phase, I filled every surface with books about vintage and classic ship design, like this one: THE SEA VOYAGE by Paolo Piccone. I studied the grand seafaring icons of yesteryear: The Queen Mary, Normandie, SS France — but especially the Italian liners, like the Art-Deco inspired Michelangelo, rumored to have had a full Alfa Romeo racing track on the upper deck. The pinnacle of luxury and beauty on the high seas. -Richard
