The narrative takes the form of humorous and critical observations on various cultures, customs, and places, as experienced by an ensemble of pilgrims aboard the steamship "Quaker City." In particular, it highlights the folly, awkwardness, and grandeur of tourism during that era, reflecting Twain's signature wit and social commentary. At the start of the journey, the author describes the excitement surrounding a novel excursion to Europe, describing the extravagant plans that promise adventure and cultural encounters. The opening chapters detail the preparations leading up to the trip, the eclectic mix of passengers, and the initial experiences at sea, including the chaotic departure and the inevitable seasickness troubling many first-time travelers. Twain captures the blend of anticipation and disorientation as they sail toward the Azores, introducing characters like Mr. Blucher, who embodies the naïveté of the travelers lost in their expectations of the journey. The tone is marked by irony and humor as Twain lovingly mocks the foibles of his fellow travelers while presenting a vivid depiction of their maritime adventure.
