Experience A Getaway Of A Lifetime And Embark On A Romantic Cruise In Paris

If you are looking for a romantic getaway and want to spend the weekend with your partner, then you should definitely visit Paris. Romance has always been the draw card when it comes to Parisian ambiance. What could be more romantic than a cruise on one of the beautiful glass boats? If you are looking for an ideal cruise in Paris then you can either rent a houseboat in Paris or look at the Bateaux Parisians cruise for two which includes a pickup at your hotel at no extra charge.

You will travel through the river Seine and be treated to a wonderful sightseeing experience. This trip is four hours and when the sun starts setting your will dine under the lights of the Parisian sky. You will be served a traditional French dinner along with a bottle of their finest champaign. The cruise starts off with the magnificent view of the Eiffel Tower, and then heads down the river Seine and stopping off at all the other wonderful splendors that will leave you totally mesmerized.

From the staggering architecture to the magnificent skylight, the cruise boat passes gently over the water. Landmarks you will pass by on your romantic cruise are the Louver Rose and the Notre-Dame and many well noted bridges. This is truly a spectacular sight that will keep you wanting to come back time and again. And to round the evening off, performers will grace you with their presence and play some true Parisian music which spices up the romance.

When going on board you will also be welcomed by the friendly staff that will assist you during your entire journey. In addition your romantic cruise does not end there as your hosts will also take you to the Champ de Elysees's Lido show and give you a small bottle of the very best luxury champagne. After the show you can party the night away, or just spend time alone with your partner. You can also hire a horse drawn carriage and take a romantic tour of the city.

Once you have had enough for the evening, you won't have to worry about hiring a cab when you return to your hotel, as once again you will be taken back to your hotel with the cruises compliments. Besides this option there are several other options you can explore in Paris. Sometimes the city center can be very overwhelming, so you could find accommodation further out or choose a boat rental in Paris which is a very popular option as opposed to villas or hotels. Renting a boat is not only romantic but also affordable and you get to see all the spectacular views.

There are also more elaborate options such as barge rental in Paris and rental houseboats. These boats have two to eight bedrooms with clean modern interior décor. Bookings are easy to make if you know exactly what you are looking for. The size of the boat will depend on what you can afford. You could spend a whole week-end on a houseboat as these boats are fully equipped with kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. When stopping off to view the hot spots, all are within walking distance, which means you can get on and off the boat at your leisure and just stroll around.

On the other hand if you are looking for the ultimate luxury you could make use of the Louver Peniche Paris. They offer all the utilities you can imagine as well as cable TV and Jacuzzi baths, heating and air conditioning and basically your wish is their command. There are several different packages to choose from which are also flexible and affordable. No matter what type of vacation you are looking for, Paris boat companies will make sure you are comfortable and well looked after. The French are definitely the most charming and know how to treat their customers, unlike any other destination in the world.

Antarctic Tour, Cruise and Voyage Guide Pt 1 - Must Do List

Preparing for your Antarctic Cruise, Voyage or Tour

I know when I went to Antarctica I prepared before going a "Must Do List". This is a reminder list or goal setting list of the thing you want to achieve while on your Antarctic adventure.

Must do lists aren't for everyone, some tourists/adventurers just like to take it as it comes and not put themselves under any pressure of commitment, however for others it is a sure way to achieve certain milestones and make the very most of a lifetime trip.

It is not always possible to achieve everything on the list, so this will give you a great excuse to go back as soon as you can! It can be great fun looking forward to and planning for your "Must Do List", and it's even more fun and satisfying when you achieve and tick off the items on the list. It is also a great feeling to go back home after your amazing Antarctic Tour and go through the list and reminisce about the things you achieved.

So, below is a list of some of the things that I think would be essential items on a "Must Do List" for a cruise or voyage to Antarctica and Sub Antarctica:

Antarctic Cruise Must Do List.

Photograph or see a whale (photographs last longer)See an Aurora or better still photograph one.Watch the ship approach the pack-ice edge.Go on an IRB Ice Berg cruise.Take a photo of at least one penguin.Take a photo of at least one seal.Get chased by a massive Elephant Seal Bull (just kidding)Experience a Blizzard - (an experience you won't forget)Watch and or photograph an Albatross circling the ship in Antarctic waters.Watch the ship (Ice Breaker) cut through heavy pack ice like a hot knife through butter.Experience the massive ice cliffs along the coast of Antarctica.See an Ice Glacier tongue jutting out into the sea.

Safety First in Antarctica

These are just some of the things you can do or experience on an Antarctic Cruise, Tour or Voyage, you can certainly make up your own list, however always keep safety in mind, as I am sure the Antarctic Tour Operators always have their passengers safety and well-being as a first priority.

Some Antarctic Tour Operators have their own "Must Do List" for their passengers along with an itinerary for the voyage. Sometimes due to weather and ice conditions it is not always possible to go everywhere and do everything, however the uncertainty is what makes an Antarctic Adventure all the more exciting.

Hi, they call me Haich!
