Good l overseas or thin, and what miracle in light...
More and more Russians run from the come heat to the sea. Or even
In the sea. Why and to us not to go to voyage in
The distant countries?! As a choice of cruises today as never
It is wide and various. And in the West about 65 % of foreign tourists
Spend the holidays by the ships.
Sea cruises not the cheapest kind of tourism. Seven-day rounds
Stand not less than $1200 (without air flight and residing on
To "land"), and travel by the "six-stars" ships, to which
During a stop helicopters are flied, yachts and so forth are going to,
Manages in $1000 a day.
But expenses pay off kaleidoscopical change of impressions,
Proof ocean sunburn, fresh air, magnificent kitchen
Sea cooks and calming splash of water (if, of course, with
Main deck of a huge vessel you will hear this splash).
Cruises are a perfect kind of rest for active
Travellers with a good vestibular mechanism, which
Plan to examine for a week, say, ten countries.
But before to reserve places by the ship, estimate
Possibilities of the organism. The sea, as well as any elements, very much
Whimsically, from a storm and rolling anybody is not insured. Some rounds
Last on a month - to you can elementary bother.
Council for those who goes to swimming: the best cabins
Are in the central part of the ship, in the so-called dead
To zone - it less all is subject to rolling. Conveniently on a vessel nose, and
Here on a forage shakes and rocks to sleep. However, "old salts" assure,
That on superliners in height about the ten-storied house you feel only
The storm exceeding 8 points.
The above level on which the cabin is located, the it
More expensively. Though the basic difference between decks is not present. Top
Choose for prestige reasons.
The most popular sea cruises is Mediterranean in the summer
Region, Northern Europe (Norway, Denmark, England-Scotland,
Holland) and Alaska.
In the winter is better to go to Caribbean and Hawaiian
To islands, to Mexico, to Miami, to South East Asia (Bali,
Borneo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila), and also on "the African
Riviera "(Zanzibar, Madagascar, Mauritius and the republic of South Africa). At this time year
Here exhausting heat and not falls down so is damp. And the sea all year long
Warm and tender.
In the autumn and it is not recommended to swim away to the North Sea in the winter or
To Baltic. Winds not less than 6 points there blow. There were cases, when
Because of a strong wind the ships could not moor on
neskolku days also dangled in the sea in expectation of good weather.
Summer among polar bears.
The exotic travel most, perhaps, by the ship is possible
To make to Alaska.
Cruises in the fifty first state of America on number of tourists
Concede only to the Hawaiian Islands. Here with hunting all nations go -
From Germans to Hindus.
Now Alaska became accessible also to Russians. American
Company Royal Caribbean and its Russian representative
Travel company "Lanta-round" (bodies.: (095) 974-0058, 755-7711)
Offers eight-day travel on liner Rhapsody of the
Seas.
Rhapsody of the Seas is a floating five-stars hotel with
All conveniences: pools with the warmed-up sea water,
Exercise room, sun deck, a jacuzzi, a beauty salon, phone
And the TV in each cabin and a round-the-clock food.
The meal by the ship is a ritual. In shorts and bathing suits
To appear at restaurant it is not accepted. And in special cases, for example
On captain's reception, it is required to be in evening dresses. For
Those who has forgotten to take a tuxedo or the butterfly, by the ship
Hire of the suits, all accessories and even boots is provided.
On Rhapsody of the Seas work a kindergarten and special
- the child it is possible to hand over playgrounds to the tutor though on
All day and night.
The one who has decided to make travel to Alaska, plane
Reaches America, then to the largest Canadian port
Vancouver, whence sails away the steam-ship.
What Russian heart will not jam at approach of coast
Alaska. Traditions of Russian conservatives have mixed up here with
The American way of life, having created unique local colour.
Tourist vessels moor to the major ports of Alaska -
To capital Juneau, Skegveju (the road on "gold" whence begins
Klondike), Hejnsu and Kitchikanu. These small towns as though are copied
From the American westerns - everywhere low wooden private residences.
And there and then well-groomed Russian old believe churches. Valleys
Are replaced by glaciers, falls and snow tops, then again
Blossoming meadows.
The author of these lines has visited on Alaska at the very beginning of June. And
In general the tourist season here lasts from May till September. In
The rest of the time on Alaska rains and severe winters.
The cruise program is painted on minutes. In Juneau and Skegvee it is possible
To make helicopter walk in the heart of a glacier or
To go on foot, on horses or bicycles to mountains. In Hejnse and
Kitchikane it is offered to visit salmon nurseries, valleys of eagles
Or to fish. In Skegvee interested persons bring to "gold" collars,
Whence there were to Klondike gold diggers.
But the brightest impression of Alaska is gletchery. So
Huge glaciers which "slip" in water and from which name
With a terrible roar icebergs - one of them once break away
Has ruined legendary "Titanic". Colour of an ice block varies on
neskolku once a day depending on an ocean shade.
Cost of eight-day cruise to Alaska - from $1949
(A double room with all conveniences on lower decks) to
$6740 (three-room cabins - "lux" on main decks). If
To reserve cruise now for August or September, it is possible to count
On the discount of 43 %.
Irina Pochinok: "And you were to Tahiti?".
Sea cruises - family tradition of the head of Department
The finance of governmental body of the Russian Federation, the former head of the State Tax Service
The Russian Federation Alexander Pochinka. Each holiday Mr. Pochinok with the spouse and
The daughter goes to swimming.
Irina Pochinok, spouse Alexander Pochinka:
"We have visited cruises already eight times, have travelled almost all
Europe, the Near East, the North Africa.
Cooks on ocean liners of the higher category. Thus by a supper
It is possible to leave in evening dresses it it is pleasant, as in
To Moscow we with the husband of high life actually do not conduct.
As a rule, we buy rounds in the American companies.
Americans differ clearness and punctuality in the organisation
Excursions, give translators. And here Frenchmen it is a little
razboltanny also suppose failures in excursions.
In May we have returned from "romantic" travel on
The French Polynesia - to islands Tahitis, Standing up, the Pine forest-pine forest, to atolls
Mooureja.
The ship "Paul Gauguin" floated round the uninhabited volcanic
The islets which have acquired for millions of years by corals and palm trees. About them
Ocean waves break. Therefore to Tahiti never happens
Storm.
The ship stops near islands for some days.
Tourists live in a bungalow on water. Outside it is an ordinary-looking shed from
Palm leaves on piles. Inside - last achievements
Civilisations, worthy five-stars hotel: the conditioner,
Jacuzzi, the TV and so on.
The bus on which we examined Tahiti, reminded the wooden
Van with open windows, "vprjazhennyj" in "Mercedes".
For especially courageous underwater excursions, in that have been provided
Number feeding of sharks and slopes.
But the basic sight of Polynesian islands -
It, certainly, young taitjanki. All of them carry the translucent
pareo which tie round a body, and white flowers in hair.
Any supermodel would envy their grace.
The husband has told, that we sometime will necessarily return on
Tahiti ".
Family pochinkov plans rest in advance - at least for four
Month, therefore permits manage on 30-40 % more cheaply.
On the average one cruise (and three of them travel, together with
Daughter Olga) manages to the family budget in $7 thousand. Thus
Apartments are reserved the best (on a main deck from the external
The parties of the ship with a view of the sea).
Larissa Rubalskaja writes verses under the Scottish delay.
Known poetess Larissa Rubalsky does not suffer two things -
Heats and planes. Its favourite kind of rest - sea cruises on
To northern Europe. It already has some times visited Norway,
Scotland, Denmark and Sweden, floated on the Celtic channel.
The Mrs. Rubalsky absolutely free of charge travels. Tourist
Company Primexpress invites the poetess to act on receptions and
The parties arranged during travel.
Larissa Rubalskaja:
"I like public who goes to swimming.
Pleases, that rest by the ships became accessible now and
To representatives Russian middle-class'a. If 6 years ago in
Cruises it was possible to meet only "rich persons", now
It is a lot of doctors, lawyers and teachers.
Most of all I like to float along coast of Norway and Scotland
At white nights. potrjasajushchi medieval Scottish locks! As
As if Walter Skotta's heroes revive.
In the evenings, when the ship costs in port, on landing stage come
Norwegians also sing viscous national songs. Scots play on
Delays.
Such minutes new verses flow from me the river.
Besides, I the terrible glutton. Such fish market, what
Has settled down on the bank of Bergen (the largest port of Norway), no
Anywhere in the world. Neither in Spain, nor in Italy you will not feed such
Tasty, such red salmon and enormous shrimps, what I
Ate in Bergen ".
Departuring savings.
