Tips for Booking Trips on All Budgets-from $1,000 to $1,000,000 "Kavin compares cruise ships and yacht charters to showcase the biggest advantage of the latter: personalized comfort." -Soundings "Charter cruising comes in many flavors, from fully crewed luxury megayachts to pilot-your-own bareboats, and Kim Kavin has sampled just about all of them." -Offshore Say good-bye to lengthy security lines, overpriced pia coladas, and jam-packed shore excursions. Never again will your cruise vacation include jostling with crowds, squishing into a kiddie-filled swimming pool, or rushing back from a land tour in time for a pre-assigned dinner seating on a massive, impersonal ship. Dream Cruises introduces you to the joys of private yacht charter vacations, a fast-growing and often surprisingly affordable alternative to cruise ships. With charters, you get the whole boat for your family and friends, with a crew catering only to you, and you go wherever you choose-from Alaska to the South Pacific. Based on first-hand experience as well as advice and information from sixty charter-industry experts worldwide, Dream Cruises explains which kinds of yachts are available, where to book them, how to find a trustworthy broker, what you can expect to pay, and much more. Why book another cabin when you can have the whole boat for yourself?
Most yachtsmen dream about cruising to an exotic destination; this is the book that will turn dreamers into planners. 24 classic cruises are fully mapped, measured and costed, showing how they are perfectly possible whatever your skill level. From weekend cruises around the British Isles to a voyage to Antarctica, and from Greek island cruises to an escape to the Virgin Islands, this book explores where to go, why, how to get there and what to expect en route. The book breaks down each cruise into important considerations, such as what type of boat is needed, what level of skill or qualifications are required, whether it is a suitable journey to undertake with a young family, what possible dangers might influence any decision (from extreme weather to the threat of piracy), and most obviously, cost. Covering popular, exotic cruising destinations such as Thailand and the Virgin Islands, as well as unexpected, almost secret routes along the US Intracoastal Waterway and French canals, as well as proper adventures (including both Atlantic and Pacific crossings), this inspirational may be the starting point for the voyage of a lifetime.

Seafaring Elegance: The Art of Cruise Interior Design by Satakshi Choudhary,Dr. Sushil Kumar Pdf
Taking a cruise is an adventure into an unequalled world of luxury and design, not just a trip across the ocean. Cruise ships have evolved from being thought of as floating transit hubs to elegant, cutting-edge floating mansions. In the pages that follow, we will delve into the intriguing realm of cruise interior design and take you on a carefully planned journey through the creativity and craftsmanship that bring the onboard experience to new and amazing heights. Cruise interior design is a concept that harmonically combines form and function, allowing aesthetics to coexist peacefully with the practicalities of living at sea. This introduction opens the door to a world where every element, from the spacious atrium to the cozy staterooms, has been painstakingly chosen to exude luxury, coziness, and refinement. The way that cruise cabin design has changed throughout time has reflected changes in passenger expectations. Modern cruisers want an immersive experience that stimulates their senses and takes them to worlds of beauty and indulgence; they are no longer satisfied with simple utility. Cruise interior designers create a genuinely remarkable experience by carefully choosing materials, arranging light and space, and incorporating ecological methods. We will explore the complexities of designing cruise ship interiors and learn the stories behind the expansive atriums that act as the centrepiece of the ship, creating a visual symphony that sets the mood for the whole nautical experience. The atrium becomes a microcosm of the ship's personality, a precursor to the marvels that await on the decks above, from the choice of opulent materials to the thoughtful arrangement of seating places. Throughout the journey, the cabins and suites serve as our heavens, where guests may unwind in luxury and style. Here, designers have to balance making the most of the available space with providing passengers with the opulent experience they want. Cabins are designed to be both useful and aesthetically pleasing, with luxurious bedding, creative storage options, and stunning views of the constantly shifting seascape, creating peaceful retreats. Dining establishments are the focal point of a cruise's gastronomic story. Every place has a distinct tale to tell, from elegant fine dining venues that equal the sophistication of exclusive land-based restaurants to laid-back settings meant for carefree al fresco pleasures. The intricate details of these spaces, including as colour schemes, lighting designs, and furniture choices, 4 showcase the creativity of cruise interior design and work together to create an atmosphere that is a perfect match for the wide range of gastronomic options. A creative canvas is provided by entertainment places, which are the theatres and lounges where travellers enjoy the enchantment of live acts. Designers work in tandem with specialists in set design, lighting, and acoustics to turn these areas into magical theatres. The end effect is an engrossing journey that immerses visitors in an opulent theatrical setting. Common areas are similarly important to the story of cruise interior design as they are places where passengers congregate for socializing and relaxation. Lounges, gaming rooms, and libraries are designed to offer a variety of opportunities for unwinding and socializing. The goal is to establish social hubs that accommodate the many inclinations and appetites of the ship's multicultural patrons. Furthermore, cruise interior designers are using eco-friendly techniques as the necessity of sustainability becomes more widely recognized. The next sections will explore the eco-friendly projects that are influencing cruise interior design in the future. Recycled materials, energy-saving technologies, and a dedication to ethical sourcing all help to create a more sustainable and greener marine experience. We encourage you to embark on a visual and conversational trip with us as we explore the fascinating world of ship interior design. Discover the luxury and creativity that characterize contemporary cruise ships, and observe how practicality and design come together to create floating works of art. I hope this tour stimulates your senses and helps you to appreciate the creativity that these nautical wonders' painstakingly designed interiors have. Good luck on your journey!
