History

Good morning followers!

We consider it's important to talk about the history of cruising, to introduce it we'er going to talk about it in this posts. We don't want to bore anyone, therefore it will be short.

ç

The beginning of the cruises was in 1835 when Shetland Journal was published a sea trip around Scotland, Iceland and Feroe Island. The first transatlantic cruise was in 1840, it started in Liverpool to Boston.

But it was not until 1947 when Cunar built the first pleasure cruise, it was called "Green Goddess". Since then the cruises tourism indusry opened a new way to travel with luxury, comfort and design.



That's all! Did you know the origin of the cruises?

Titanic will cross the seas again

Hello followers, we're here again :)


We're sure that everybody become familiar with this famous movie. It isn't?


The history of the ship that sank while crossing the Atlantic Ocean captivated everyone and made us mourn. We're sure that many of you would have liked to be there (of course, before sinking).

Now it's possible! The Australian magnate Clive Palmer plans to build a copy of the famous transatlantic, which will travel in its inaugural trip from England to New York.

A replica of the legendary Titanic, Titanic II, will cross the Atlantic from England to New York in 2016. The new boat will be as luxurious as the original Titanic, but of course will have XXI century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems.


The original Titanic was nearly 270 meters in length and 53 in height, weighing approximately 40,000 tons and a capacity of over 2,200 people on board. On the night of 14 April 1912 the ship struck an iceberg south of the coast of Terranova and sank in less than three hours, killing more than 1,500 people, including passengers and crew.

One single difference:
The only difference between the original and the "Titanic II" is that the coal engine in the first model will be replaced for a diesel engine.


The Titanic II will have 840 rooms and nine decks, like its predecessor, as well as having "the latest bells and whistles, such as gyms and swimming pools on board, library and high-class restaurants." According to Palmer, the inaugural trip is scheduled for the end of 2016 from England to North America.



What do you think about this cruise? Do you like to go?
