Unusual Cruises Around the World

Cruise holidays have become more and more popular over the years. Now catering for all age groups,cruises have it all in one place.

With locations constantly updated and cruise liners continuously being improved, cruises are the modernway to see the world.

They are no longer limited to the popular regions of the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Baltics, but nowalso go to more unusual places, such as the Norwegian Fjords and the Alaskan wilderness.

Here we look at some of the unusual cruise options available around her world:

Sorrento

Norway

A cruise along the Norwegian Fjords showcases a profusion of unique natural wonders; waterfalls, lakes,glaciers and fjords. Along the way, the majority of the ports visited are little fishing towns perched on theside of the bays, providing intimate and low key cruises.

There are a number of different stop-offs, which include Bergen, Oslo where you can see the Vigelandsculptures, Stavangar, the Viking capital of Trondheim and the gateway to the Arctic. Some liners crossthe Article circle where you can visit the lunar landscapes as well as the world's most northern town,Hammerfest.

The town is the best place to see the spectacular Northern Lights and is a very popular tourist area.Norwegian liners vary in size and luxury; a number boast private balconies, which at a slight extra costprovide a perfect way to view the Norwegian scenery.



Alaska

Despite being the largest state in America, Alaska is a land of immense beauty whilst being very sparselypopulated. Similarly to Norway, Alaska boasts a number of fjords, glaciers, icebergs, coastal wildernessand snow-capped mountains as well as fertile rainforests. A range of animals are also regularly spottedincluding whales, bears and eagles.

Alaskan cruises offer a number of different experiences that cannot be enjoyed anywhere else. Guestshave the chance to enjoy the unspoiled wilderness whilst also visiting frontier towns full of history andexperiencing up-close encounters with wildlife in their original and undisturbed natural habitats. Thereare also a number of on shore excursions available, including helicopter tours, river trips, bear watchingand dog sledding.

With two passages available, an Alaskan cruise has benefits for all kinds of people. The Inside Passage isusually a trip that does not involve flying into one city and out of another, but instead boasts a roundtripsail. On the other hand, the Gulf of Alaska allows the travellers to see a wider range of the Alaskanscenery, including additional glaciers. However, there is also the option for custom made trips to Alaska,which could include land tours of the interior country or Canadian Rockies as well as the conventionalcruise route.

Sorrento

Disney Themed

Themed cruises are also becoming more popular with choices such as active, relaxing and for the kidsamongst you, the Disney cruisers. Starting in Florida, the Disney cruise transports you into a fairytaleworld with activities for all ages. The cruise liners offer classic beauty with a twist of modern luxuries favoured by cruises nowadays. A wide range of dining is available, from snacks to sit down meals, buffetsto adult only restaurants.

Disney theatres are located on the liners so that travellers can enjoy an abundance of Disney themedshows throughout their trip. As well as this, there are regular character greetings, which give childrenand adults the chance to meet the Disney favourites. With restaurants, pools, rooms and spas namedspecifically after Disney characters and movies, the Disney cruise is a must for any Disney fan.

Hawaii

For those wishing for a more relaxing cruise, the Caribbean can provide a perfect place for a relaxed andharmonious cruise. The Caribbean provides individuality and spectacular landscape and diverse culture.Cruises around the area are usually divided into three areas; eastern, western and southern. The easternitinerary includes islands such as Barbados, St Lucia and Antigua; the western offers the Mexican Riviera,whilst the southern surrounds itself with the Panama Canal, Margarita Island, Aruba and Curacao.

A slightly less popular destination on the Caribbean cruise is Hawaii, due to its distance. However with itshistorical traditions, it is an ideal destination on relaxing cruises and can be combined with stopovers inother cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas.

Sorrento

Luxury

There are a number of luxury cruise liners that run around the world. Despite most cruises offering luxury holidays and accommodation, certain liners go that extra way to ensure that guests have an even moreluxurious time aboard their ships. Not just for the privileged, luxury cruises allow the traveller to travelaround the world in the most stylish ocean liners.

With the majority also having an all inclusive policy, food and drink are included in the price with someliners offering premium wines, spirits and champagnes. Luxury liners give a feel of a private yacht ratherthan a large cruise liner with exceptional service. Staff to guest ratios are close to 1:1 with personalservice throughout your stay. Award winning restaurants are also available aboard the luxury liners, withculinary masterpieces influenced by renowned international chefs.

For those after smaller, less commercialised cruises, luxury liners are a perfect choice. Exclusivelydesigned for fewer guests, the liner boasts more space despite being generally smaller than other liners.Due to this it also enables the cruise itineraries to be based around more exotic and unique destinations,as they have the ability to call into ports that large mainstream cruise liners are not able to dock in.Regardless of the size, the liners still have the same facilities seen in a normal liner; show lounges, casinos,spas, swimming pools and large fitness facilities.

Although possessing similar facilities to mainstream liners the facilities come with a much higherspecification and level of comfort. Suites are also high-end luxury with many possessing balconies. 24hour room service is also commonplace to complement the spacious suites, bathrooms, fine cotton bedlinen and high quality toiletries; personal butlers are also sometimes provided with individual suites.



Family

Cruise holidays are also now becoming more popular for the whole family rather than just couples; it isnot uncommon to find more than 1000 kids on board certain mainstream large liners. With Disney cruisesbeing very popular, other themes have also sprung up with certain liners specifically set up for families.

Family cruises contain specific children's facilities, which can often rival those at land resorts. New linersare now being nicknamed 'floating resorts' as they possess everything expected on a land resort to keep children happy whilst allowing parents to relax, knowing their children are safe.

Vacation on the Beach

Vacations on the beach are favourite relax for many of us. Persons begin to dream sea waves and breeze just when they turn home from there. Some of my friends said me that the sea is not important for them but than confessed they go to the beach for a week or two every year.



Well, important or not, we want to experience the vacation near the seas. Sometimes it's relaxing and nice when there is enough place on the beach and in the sea. But some of us are not so fortunate or want to visit very popular beaches that are so full that you can hardly find place not only to lay but even to stand there. This photo that was sent me by one of my friends was published by Reuters, I think, about a year or two ago.

Is it a relaxing beach experience???

Looking For Cheap Vacation

Budget travelers and not only they look always more often for cheap vacations. There are different reasons because this phenomena is so popular in the modern world. We work hard and want to have a good vacation, but we are conscious that there are many vendors that have excessive prices thought for unsuspecting tourists. And, from other side, it can happen that we do not inform us about the ways we have to behave in other countries and places we want to visit.

The most evident example from the life. If you go in a bar in a central street of a popular among the tourists town or in one that is near a very popular touristic destination, you can often pay what you order in that bar much more in confront to an other bar that is situating just some steps far from the main street.

Sometimes, I find advises about the airfares. You have to book your ticket choosing a little airport where there are not too many flights, they say. It can be right for some places. But using the air transportation in Italy, I noticed that the best prices I found, were always in the most big and hectic airports like Milan. Personally, I look in all the most important online agencies and carriers sites and choose the best for my intentions price among all them.

Sometimes, cheap means not "less paid". For example, my husband went in Argentina booking a flight for an incredible low price about half a year before the flight. In these 6 months, the company changed the time of departure and other similar things every week. Every time, we had to call their paid call center to confirm that he, my husband, wants to take this flight. Every call's cost was very high.

The other time, I bought an incredibly low cost ticket to fly in Russia about 2 month before the flight. I had an emergency and had to fly there in any case. The company suddenly transfered the flight from the airport near my house to an other, in North Italy just some days before the departure. All the "last minute" flights costed a fortune it that moment, and I had to accept the change of the airport. All the additional expenses raised the price to the business class sum.

That is why you have to read advises of those who just experienced the travel destination you choosed to avoid such bad experiences.

Alpine Paradise

Human being is done this strange way that we understand what we love only when we leave it. Somebody calls it nostalgie. And it's normally about the places we know very well, places where we were born, where we passed many years of our lives.

I did not know this feeling for many years till I begin to visit St Petersburg. It will seem not normal maybe, but I had my first nostalgie feeling for this city that I did not know too much, honestly. It was like obsession.

Many of us, who lives in central and northern parts of Europe, have a precise idea of Paradise: palms, sandy beaches, light breeze... I promote Caribbean cruises and learn much about this part of the world now, so, I have to confess, I acquired this other obsession myself, too: I dream about a cruise on Carnival Magic or Norwegian Epic...


?????????? ?? ??????.??????

Or, contrary, we think that Paradise are those southern towns where we can walk near that warm sea under the (same :-(  ) palms...
Dreaming about an exotic destination? Booking Hotel before you leave is important to have serene vacation.

???? ??????? ? ?????????? ??????? 

Only when we have to live far from our cold and not so shiny motherland for much time, we understand that the best and the most rich nature is there; that the best "palm" is a spruce; and that Baltic (etc) sea is not worse than southern seas. The sun is mild and not merciless. And the colors are more interesting there. Do you agree that the Paradise pictures are these in the bottom and not those over here?

Look for a Tree when you Travel

What are you looking for when you travel? Palaces? Streets? Artworks? You make an error. You have to look for big trees to understand the very soul of the residents, of the people, of the country you visit.

It is interesting that after 2000 years of monotheism, after entire lives of atheistic education etc, we all remain pagans in that place of our souls where there are our roots. Tender relations with the big trees come from there.


Our ancestors believed that deities lived in the trees. Trees themselves were images of human virtues and negativities. It's clear that the conditions of the life were criterions for the choise of the tree -there were not palms in northen catolic countries, for example, and we use firtrees to replace them.

Central- and north-European populations thought the main forces populated crowns of the oaks. Those were King-trees. So, that mani royalities had oaks in their gardens. And the ribellious, when they wanted to hit their governors, kept going at their trees even in the modern times.

In the Middle Ages, the agressors took care to go in the most important for the country places like churches etc where, strangely enough, grew the big trees, to annihilate those trees.

Oak was center of the Universe, Ideal world, world itself.

????????? ????? ??????
�????????? ????? ??????� ?? ??????.??????

If the oak was personification of the power, manhood, strength, Pines were a kind of antenna, axis, connecting this world with that celestial. A symbol of ethernity (evergreen) and longevity. Pines were used for funeral fire.

? ?????? ???????????
�? ?????? ???????????� ?? ??????.??????

I omit other trees like birch, symbol of youth, spring and verginity, for not too mach place in a post, to pass to a personification of the bad (not negative) forces. Even for pagans "black and white" were only sides of entire fenomenon. Aspen. This tree's sawn end becomes blue and it signify death. And the deity of the death lived in the crown of this tree. That is why it was forbidden to hide under it. But it protected from evils of all kinds. Included insects (fen-cricket) that could destroy the gardens (making a fence from asp around it).

???? ????????....
�???? ????????....� ?? ??????.??????

Far from us cultures had similar behaviour. I did not find information about the deestruction of the trees of the enemies, maybe my friends from Asia coul help me with their tales. For Muslim, planting mulberry tree or plane tree was very appreciated by Allah action.

So, if you visit an other country, look what trees are venerated by the population to understand their soul.

To Go or Not To Go? News About Touristic Destinations

I continue the round of the "special" news that can affect tourists prepearing their luggeges and just flying in their thoughts in the dream-place. Someone dreams about a beach, other thinks the best is a tour in Antarctica -we are different and it's good. Imagine if all the residents of the Earth go in vacation on the same beach.

Well, news.




Spain. It seems there is invasion of jellyfishes near the beaches there. Bad notice not only for those who went or want to go there. The fenomenon repeats every year in Mediterranean. It means that the oceans are ill and can't support the activities of the humans more.

Malaysia. The sales began and will last till September 16. Not so much time, but if we think about sales in Italy that begin at the end of June and "last" till September, we can understand that the long period is a lie. If you want to find something in the middle of July here, you will find Fall models and zero sale offers.

Oman. They build a luxury hotel with shariat laws in it. No alcohol and men-women division not only in WC. The owner says, he is sure the hotel will be always complete because there are many persons that do not like those drunk faces everywhere.

Ucraina. Many tourists go there in May to enjoy the flowering of chestnut trees. The capital, Kijew, has so many of them that they become world-known brand of the city. Now, if you had to wait till spring, you can buy your ticket: the chestnut trees are flowering second time this year.

We can not only become the best amateur photographer and win a great price -we can send our favorite photos of the weather and nature to an important site and have it published there.

To enter, go to the site, click "Submit your photo now", write a short story about your photo -and win �10,000. In any case, if you are not British, it's worth to visit the site and to look at the submitted photos. You can vote those you like and help the best of them to win. I have voted for many photos - let the best one win! If they are better than mine, why not?

Hot Days Tourists' Sufferings

Do you like to travel when the temperature is so high? I really don't. The news in TV show every day crowds of tourists in the streets of Rome and other big touristic centers of Italy. They walk, covered with umbrellas, drink water from the bottles and bath themselves in different kinds of pools and fountains. I do not understand these mad persons. I would never go out under the sun when it's rays are so terrible.

Well, it depends from the time when they can take their vacation. And maybe they have not other possibility to visit these places in an other period. But it's suicide.

I remember, we had to accompany my mother-in-law in Rome in August. It was terribly hot but we decided to rest there for one day and to visit Vatican. I had shorts and a vest top on and did not know it's forbidden to enter the S. Peter's basilica if not completely covered. But I do not stand hot and felt really bad that day. I had giddiness and very law blood pressure. But I wanted to visit basilica so much! Who knows, when I'll have this possibility next time, I thought... In fact, I was not there more.

castel Sant'Angelo
�castel Sant'Angelo� ?? ??????.??????

(If you have to visit basilica, you have to cross this bridge and turn left, as I did. The basilica is about 500 meters from here)

So, as said, I went to the basilica alown: my husband remained to wait near the car because we did not know the city and did not know where to park it, the car, for a moment. No, if you think to visit a big city, it's better to take pubblic transport. You save not only money but many troubles too.

I felt too bad near one of the shops not far from basilica and fall down on it's stairs. The girls in the shop have seen me and gave me water with sugar. It happens very often here, they said. Imagine, they had that water just ready in the shop for those mad like me. I thought about those completely covered persons intended to visit the basilica and about Swiss guards weared with lounge suits. My husband laughs till today when we remember how those bad guards did not allow me to enter in basilica but I just told you that story.

From that time I think twice if I have to visit something in hot summer months. It's better to choose an other direction for the vacation, I think.

Vacation With Your Love? You Are Warned!

Do you love your partner and plan to pass a splendid wacation with him/ her? Choose your aim with great attention! Some cultures are not so tollerant to the lovers as in Europe, for example. There are countries where you will not only pay a fine for a kiss in public place but in some cases they will throw you in a prison for it. Here you will read advices about the laws and behaviour for lovers.

*
�*� ?? ??????.??????

Indonesia. Kisses in public places -from $33 till 10 years in prison.
Dubai. One couple payed $570 and 6 months of detention for a public kiss in 2009. An other couple in a car -$3000 man (drunk), $545 woman
India. A "Scandinavian" woman swam naked in a holy lake.
Indo-China. Russian tourists decided to take photos of the sightseeings ...being naked.
Rumania. Don't take sun topless if you have more than 60 years.
Different countries (among them some towns of Italy) men have to wear bathing suit when women can remain topless (but you have to control the local laws before you go on the beach!).

Do you know other cases?
Help me to make the complete list!

Curious News About Tourists

Reading news abut tourism I found some of them very curious.

UK. A 29 years old woman took sun on the beach in Brighton. She was with her baby and left him all the day under the rays of the sun. Other persons told her to cover the boy but she did not understand them. Her neighbours called police when they saw vesicles on the skin of the baby. They say, it's probably the baby will not survive.

Ibiza. A group of young British tourists came in their hotel after they drunk somewhere. One of them decided to jump in the pool of the hotel situating under the windows of their room directly from the window. He missed the pool landing on the grass 3 meters far from it. The meditians try to save his life.

Milano, Italy

India. The government of India declared that many tourists do not want to turn home when thier visa expire. India does not extend visas. But they do not have the "black list" of the transgressors, they say. Probably, India has irresistible attractions to prefer it to other countries. -Mmmm... Do you believe in it?

Swiss. Tourists from Germany (specially) like to walk through the valleys of the Swiss (canton Appelzell Innerrhoden) wearing only backpacks and shoes. The residents that are very religious and conservative do not understand this behaviour. But the court of law acquited one of the tourists.

Italy. The "tourist tax" of euro 41 for those Italians who wants to visit non European countries was not enough to save the economy. So, the government seems to introduce a new touristic tax for those who decide to visit Rome. They will pay about euro 10 for every night in the capital.

Have The Main Tourist Destinations To Be Closed?

This article attracted my attention because I think about it often when I watch documentaries about the nature:
Some of the world's most famous tourist attractions, such as Australia's Great Barrier Reef and Italy's Amalfi coast, could be closed to visitors within a few years because of worries about environmental damage and climate change, a report warns today.

Some destinations could be permanently closed to tourists by 2020 or face restrictions on numbers and a sharp increase in admission prices, the study, carried out for the insurance company Churchill, predicts.

It warns that in 20-40 years' time the Great Barrier Reef could be "severely damaged", forcing its closure, while other parts of Australia would be off-limits because of a rise in bushfires and insect-borne diseases. Other affected destinations include the Taj coral reef in the Maldives, Goa in India, Florida's Everglades and Croatia's Dalmatian coastline.
Source
I don't think it's real for the Amalfitan coast -I wrote here about it. The villages are really difficult to reach. The only road is eng and dangerous. THIS is their problem. From other side, if they would close the coast for tourists, the population will die from starvation. As for me, they could solve it if there were more and easy possibilities to make this trip by sea. There are ships from Salerno and Naples but most visitors prefer cars.

???????? ?? ??????????????? ?????????
(Amalfi)
For very fragile destinations like Great Barrier Reef etc they need more controls, as for me. So many times we not only ruin such places but we "teach" wild animals they have to see humans as friends. And it's not good, I think. Not all humans are good. And animals surely will learn it paying high price for their faith. And it's possible, this price will be their lives.

I would create "aquariums" for people in such places. Do you want to see whales or underwater life? Simple! Do not disturb it diving there but pass an hour or two in that "aquarium" watching that life as you do in the most modern zoos.

Is it not the right way to avoid human impact and to allow to the visitors to see what they want?

My Vacation in Milan

The first days of April I passed in Milan and Lugano. I continue to describe these days in my new travel blog, and the first post about it was written on April, 14, Great People of Milan. I would like to see you in this blog and to give me maybe some advices because the paid hosting is something completely new for me. Maybe you know interesting plug-ins to add or you know why some of plug-ins do not work there (Feedjit).

Well, general impression? It was GREAT both: infinite busy emperor style city (I was only there, the sessions of the ritrit finished too late to make tourist trips) and the wonderful places round Lugano. Because I lived till 35 in the cities, their frenetic life is my nature. But the Nature and much-much water attracts me irresistible and I feel in Paradise when I visit that place.

So, I invite you to visit my new blog and enjoy photos I made there.

Milano, Italy

Some thoughts about things every traveller has to know before he/she leaves the house

This morning I found an interesting article about the 28 things a journalist says would be very happy to know before he began to travel. If they are good for a journalist, I said, they can be good for me too. Here I want to write some words to confirm his observations.

When I go in an other place I normally take real money with me and try to organize everything possible in advance, in internet. In the way that I have to pay only the absolutely neccessary things at the place.

This story began for me with easy-jet flight, when they did not explain the rules to me, and when they did not allow me to enter the airplane because I had not respect those rules. I remained in the street without money because I had only my credit card. And forgot the access number of that card. It was sad. I, customary, cryed, tryed to explain the situation to the stuff, but nobody wanted to listen to me. So, now I know, I have to have enough money to reach my home, if it's necessary.

The other thought I read today was about the police. The author says, you have not think they are your friends because there are many cases when the policemen sell their services to the best bidders.

I never had such situations. At contrary, I always received help from police when I needed it. But I know it is not "normal" situation. It happend to me because I had not serious problems. The persons that had them told me, the policemen were really very bad with them. They did not want to help and created much more obstacles as you had before.

And the last is the thought about the taxies. I know different stories about girls that took the first car they could find -and you know there are many drivers in any airport that meet crowds of the passengers. The same story they tell about the airport in Buenos Aires, for example. Such trips are not health even for the men.

So, I think, going in an other country and in an other place has to learn us responsability. All over the world there are persns that look for "stupids". And think, all the tourists ARE stupid.

Outdoors As Essential Part Of Any Weight Loss Plan

Article Directories are valid resources to find interesting advises and stories about the personal experiences of the persons that had just tested them. We often underestimate different outdoor activities in our life. I liked the article Norwegians go to forest as usual as us go to Square on weekends describing enviable love of the citizens of the North Europe's countries to their nature. I personally could notice it when I was in Finland, where the persons go in the forests to run or to walk (they have special paths with huts etc there). For those who passes the life near computer or in an office, for all us stressed from the life in the cities nature is the best way to forget our depressions observing birds and flowers, fishing or picking mushrooms.

????????? ?????

An other article continues the theme with observation that Exercise are essential ingredient in any weight loss plan. We do not want understand this simple thing -we need to have harmonious relationships with nature to have good health and as consequence normal weight. The good God did not create computers and cities when He gave birth to this world. And this is the main reason why we need nature. It's our home, and we have to stay in touch with it. Sometimes our "stay in touch" means "destroy". It's enough to see the places where we had picnics. I think, we have to do everything possible to change our habits to live this world alive to our children and that our children do not destroy it too.

Strange Museen

The videos here are not for sensible persons.

There are different strange museen all over the world. One of them is situating in Holland, Oegstgeest. It's a look inside the human body interesting for adults and children too. I found one video where you can see some interesting moments of the visit. There is a slide show in the official site Corpus -very impressive.

Unfortunatelly I could not insert the video, so you have to pass to YouTube

I just wanted to make a roundup of scientific museen. Some of them I vesited. For example, the museum of the medicine in Riga, Latvia. I walked through the rooms with the mouth open, I remember. It was many years ago. The other from the historical scientific meseen is Kunstkamera, S. Petersburg, Russia, collected by Zar Peter I. The video here shows the most shoking and old part of the collection, so, if you are too sensible is better if you pass DO NOT WATCH these video.



The other similar museum is "Dupuytren" in Paris. The museum of the patologic anatomy.



We are afraid of these sides of the life. But it's reality. And it's good maybe to see all this to appreciate the life we have and the body the good God gave us.

In Search Of Europe's Great Wildernesses (3)

My posts about great European wildernesses were quitz before (In Search Of Europe's Great Wildernesses (2) ,In Search Of Europe's Great Wildernesses (1) ). This time I don't ask you any question because I think, you will not be able to answer where is situated this next region. If you want to try, it's a national park, in Europe, clear, the delta of a great river. It's very big (4152 km�) and is situated in 2 countries. Well, better to say, the 2 countries are situated in the area of this great river. You can see the environment on the photo. The answer is under the photo.

If you recognized the area, I confirm: it's Danube Delta, the second largest river delta in Europe. And here is the waltzer "The Danube's Waves" to celebrate your quick-wittedness

Finally the Pirate's Treasures For Us!!!

We continue to discover places that are connected with the pirates in the memory of the humanity. The previous posts were Looking for Pirates and Treasures, Pirates of Port Royal/ Giamaica, An Other Pirate's Island and told about 2 "capitales" and an island often frequented by pirates in the XVII century. Today we will speak about an island where they found REALLY great treasure left by a famous pirate Henry Morgan. I tell you about Roatan in Honduras, a paradise on the Earth, tell those who visited it. You can fly there from Cancun (40 min). Have with you American dollars because the residents use them or "Lempiras" -so more or less.

The air is profumed with the flowers, white beaches and optimal conditions in the hotels (tourists tell). And the corals and pacific sharks to swim together.

The treasures found in the 60-th were only a little part of what was hiden, so we have finally the possibility to get what we are looking for!!!!!
