If you want to go on holiday but don't want to leave your internet service behind you should consider a cruise holiday. The cruise ships of today offer internet service, cell phone service, HDTV, and satellite radio and television that will make you feel like you never left home, at least until you go up on deck and see the swimming pool and recreation area they also have. Once there you might wonder why you even brought your computer with you.
Cruise deals on the modern ships are designed to be affordable for average working people and offer as much in the way of modern technology as the cruise lines can make available. Their own systems utilise the same technology that allows you to get internet or mobile phone access. Navigation systems and communications for the ship's crew rely on GPS and sonar that you might take for granted in everyday life.
You can choose to go to a tropical paradise on your cruise or you can go with something a little different. From ports in Africa and South America you can visit the ice covered continent of Antarctica and from Norway, Iceland, or Alaska you can go to the northern seas above the Arctic Circle. Both of these are unique and different experiences that can be educational and rewarding for the whole family.
Cruise holidays offer an opportunity to see regions of the world where ancient civilizations lived, worked, played, and strived for world dominance. You can visit the pyramids of Egypt on a Nile River cruise, the site of Mesopotamia by cruising the Tigris and Euphrates, or see the wonders of Rome while sailing the waters of Mare Nostrum, the Mediterranean Sea that was once controlled by them. You can see all of this and more from a cruise ship and still get time in on those tropical beaches.
If you're looking for something more pristine, try touring the interior of the South American rain forest on an Amazon River cruise. See lands that have been untouched by man since the planet was formed and enjoy the sights and sounds of exotic wildlife, rare trees and plants, and aquatic creatures only found in this region of the world. You can choose to stay close to the densely settled areas near the coast or travel far inland to see lost lands where explorers once searched for fabled lost cities and treasures of gold and silver. Perhaps you'll find something that is valuable to you there. - 29868
