The Crown Princess

Last Saturday one of the biggest cruise ship Crown Princess stopped in dock in Liverpool. The ship was sailing around British Isles. The British Isles is 315, 121, 673.9 square metre long. Including Ireland and England, the British Isles has over six thousand islands. Getting back to the cruise, the stunning princess crown is the flagship of princess cruises that can carry upto 4,800 people including passengers and crew.

After her touring around the Isles she stopped in Liverpool for 11 hours. This gave the passengers the opportunity to view iconic histories of Liverpool which also included the football stadium of Liverpool. From Liverpool the Crown Princess sailed to Belfast, and then from Belfast she would sailed to Greenock on the west coast of Scotland.

To cover the British Isle in a cruise takes 12 days. Per person the cruise cost can be upto £1,956 and it’s worth it. In 2006 Princess Crown began it’s sailing. And from 2009 during the winter the Princess Crown sails to the Caribbean and in the summer it sails to Europe. It is one of some luxury cruises which has apartments, actually it might just be the only one. I have already started looking for a cruise holiday after seeing the stunning Crown Princess in Liverpool. I also haven’t been in one for a long time, it’s about time. And I think it might even be Crown Princess this winter which sails to the Caribbean. I am hoping it would be a good surprise to my wife.

I have been in a cruise before which was in Fred Olsen cruises, which was also a wonderful experience, when we sailed through the Mediterranean Sea. Cruises have always been a fantasy vacation for families all around the World. Most people say cruises are for elder generation but these days all cruises have activities for people with any ages. So anyone can go on a cruise and have a fantastic time.

Unfortunately, while the majority of people would associate a relaxing holiday with cruising, many other people would immediately think of the much publicised NovoVirus.

The NovoVirus is a collection of viruses that affect a persons’ stomach and intestines, causing them to suffer from vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach cramps and several other unpleasant symptoms. People tend to link the virus with cruise ships due to the high volume of people who have had the disease after taking a cruise.

However, a new machine called Cirrus 3 (The Fresh Air Machine) could present a solution to the issue faced by sea and river cruises. The machine is more than just a simple air purifier or filter; it’s an advanced biotech product that generates a stream of hydroxl radicals, which destroy harmful bacteria and viruses found in the air and on surfaces.

The virus is generally spread via infected people preparing food or drink for others, direct human contact or physical interaction or coming into contact with an infected object or surface.

The technology could be helpful to more companies than just those offering luxurious Nile River cruises, as the machine can also be used in schools, hotels, restaurants, care homes and numerous others.

Although the majority of cruise liners are doing quite a good job of attempting to tackle the NovoVirus, (putting a strict code of conduct and general precautions in place), the Cirrus 3 helps them remove the problem altogether; hugely reassuring customers.

The biotech produt also has the added benefit of massively reassuring customers and generally making people feel more confident about taking a cruise holiday.

So if you were thinking about taking your family on a cruise holiday but were put off by the NovoVirus fears, maybe now’s the time to take advantage of those seasonanal cruise offers.

Crystal Cruise Line

There are several cruise lines in Europe and because of this the competition has increased. Therefore of the competition people have now started to do a vote on positives and the negatives of the cruise lines. There are many people who go on cruises around Europe in several cruise lines. After their trip some write reviews or comment on their trip through a certain cruise line. The positive review gives a point to the cruise line and negative takes the point away. This system was introduced couple of years ago.

The below are the lists of the top three cruise lines in Europe:

Celebrity cruises

They have always been a big name but recently because of the help they provided to pick people up from Spain and bring them back to England because of volcanic ash has given them lots of votes. It has a friendly enviroment for family and also includes activities for your children from the age of 3 to 15. Parents and children both can interact with the people from different culture and countries.

Crystal Cruises

Crystal cruises offers various children’s program which are supervised by someone if there are lots of children on board. The staffs and the service is fantastic. Everyone on board is friendly and always willing to help. The children will have the opportunity to meet people from different cultures which can help their improve their cultural awareness.

Cunard Cruises

Cunard cruises includes two of the largest cruise ships afloat, what are Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth 2.These ships have a teen centre. They have trained British nannies and children’s nurses on board, which is a fantastic facility to have. If any of the parents would like to go for a meal or drinks without their children.
