  • BRAND NEW Exclusive INTERVIEW with Cruising Legend. Ep. 33 The Expert Cruise Show Christmas Special
    Dec 25 2025

    Description

    The Expert Cruise Show: A Maritime Legend revealed in this Special Edition, Anthony Davis in Conversation with Bill Miller


    Join us for an unmissable special edition of The Expert Cruise Show, where host Anthony Davis sits down for an intimate, career-spanning exclusive with the man known globally as "Mr. Ocean Liner" Bill Miller.


    With over 100 books and a lifetime spent on the high seas, Bill Miller is the living encyclopedia of maritime history. In this deep-dive interview, we go beyond the statistics to discover the heart of the man who documented the Golden Age of travel.


    Inside the Episode


    The Hoboken Origins: Bill shares vivid memories of his childhood on the New Jersey waterfront. Discover how growing up in the shadow of the great New York piers, watching titans like the Queen Mary and the United States glide past his window, ignited a passion that would define his life.


    A Love Affair with Steel and Steam: From his first voyages to his transition from a schoolteacher to a world-renowned historian, Bill discusses what it is about the "Floating Palaces" that captures the human imagination like nothing else.


    The Day the World Changed: In a poignant segment, Bill reflects on the maritime community’s response to 9/11. Drawing from his deep ties to the New York Harbor, he discusses how that day reshaped the security and soul of America.


    The Chris Frame Connection: Bill opens up about his long-standing friendship with fellow historian Chris Frame. Learn how their shared mission to preserve maritime legacy resulted in iconic books and why mentorship is vital for the next generation of ship enthusiasts.


    The Horizon Ahead: What does the future hold for cruising? Bill moves from the nostalgic past to the cutting-edge future, offering his expert take on mega-ships, environmental sustainability, and whether the "romance of the sea" can survive in a high-tech world.


    "To understand where the cruise industry is going, you have to look at the wake it left behind. Bill Miller doesn't just tell stories; he keeps the spirit of these ships alive." — Anthony Davis
