The blog for luxury cruise, lifestyle, shipping history, destinations and design

Luxury is for the most something different, depending from were each one comes.
Luxury was once available only to the rarified, aristocratic world of old money. It offered a history of tradition and craftsmanship, superior quality, and a pampered buying experience. This buying experience but not only for luxurious goods!
Today however, most luxury is simply a product package, sold by multi-billion-dollar global corporations that focus on growth, visibility, brand awareness, asvertising, and, above all, profits.
This modern `so called luxury´ has its dark sides in the different luxury industries - fashion, cruise, etc., that those don´t want us to know about. I try an uncompromised look behind the glamorous facade. But when the luxury is real, no bling-bling, I will name and tell as well. And I want to show about the history of luxury on oceans and in lifestyle, when luxury still had its luster.
The historic benchmark for luxury at sea was the famed, glamorous NORMANDIE of 1935. In my articles about NORMANDIE, even if historic, I show that NORMANDIE and his luxury is not even reached today.
You have to know your history - if you don´t know from which stable you are, you don´t know were and how to go.

The blog Earl of Cruise went online in October 2014 and is publishing reviews about cruise, destinations and hotels, as well news and trends, its focus is on real luxury and its luster.
