Life is for living - to the full

Life is for living - to the full

How many of us say "wouldn't it be nice to go on a cruise, fly in a helicopter, etc etc" but never do anything about it. Why not?? We should do and it is not always about the money. Many of us just cannot see ourselves doing the things we talk about or have pre conceived ideas about what it means.

So we are going to look at some of these wonderful things. Lets start with cruising. There is virtually every type of cruise. The world's larget cruise ship is to be launched in 2009 by the Royal Caribbean line. At 220,000 tons, 1180 feet long it will carry up to 6,400 passengers. Wow!! As you can imagine the facilities will be something else. At the other end of the scale is the Hebridean Princess, an exquisite mini cruise ship taking a maximum 49 guests and often with more staff than guests.

You can cruise in some very exoctic places in the world. There is a Bahamas Cruise, Bermuda Cruise and also more unusual ones such as the Alaska Cruise.

Bahamas Cruise

Amongst the lines that do a Bermuda Cruise are the following:

Norwegian Cuise Line

Princess Cruise Line

Regent Seven Seas

Wth it's distinctly British style, a Bermuda Cruise can give you the opportunity to play Golf on one of the World Class Golf courses, lounge on beautiful sandy beaches (pinkish sand) visit Hamilton (capital of Bermuda), Kings Wharf, St Georges and much more.

Whilst Bermuda is the island of shorts and ties (Only the British influence could do this), if you are taking a cruise here remember to pack your cocktail dress and tuxedo!!!

Alaska Cruise

Amongst the lines that do an Alaska Cruise are the following:

Norwegian Cruise Line

Royal Caribbean Line

Princess Cruise Line

If the Rocky Mountains, magnificent glaciers, humpback whales, visits to Fairbanks and Anchorage appeal to you, whilst travelling in luxury and dining on sumpteous food this is the cruise for you.
