Description
Towards the end of the 19th Century, ever larger and faster ocean liners revolutionized the growing maritime traffic. Daring shipping companies opened steamship lines to the most important parts worldwide. Modern steel juggernauts replaced traditional sailing ships and competed intensely for dominance on the major shipping routes.
As the owner of one of these companies, build a thriving fleet and guide it to economic prosperity. Acquire the most modern steamships on the market and take over precious ports from your rivals. Build an extensive network of trading posts and coal piers to expand the capabilities of your fleet. Make use of diverse options to carry out lucrative transports and win the prestigious Blue Riband of the North Atlantic.
Crossing Oceans picks up the theme and some elements of the 2017 game Transatlantic, composing a new game on a large historical map of the world.
