Cruises

Cruising is on the rise now. For some people a luxury cruise is the holiday of a lifetime. Cruise ships often go to exotic islands where people can get away from everyday life and have a change of scene. Most popular places to cruise are the Mediterranean Sea, the Caribbean Sea, the Nile, the Rhine.

Modern cruise ships are floating hotels, and provide transport, accommodation, and attractions in a single place. Cruise ships are normally supported by some form of land transport for local travel at each stopping point.

Passengers have a full range of services on board. They are looked after by a team of stewards. Passengers can have a birth in a single, double, shared, deluxe cabin or a suite.

Modern cruise ships have got cinemas, theatres, night clubs, discos, casinos, live shows and bands, bars, restaurants, shopping centres, gyms, fitness centres, swimming pools, libraries, children’s clubs. The social life on board is amazing.

City bus tours

In all historic places tourists can go on a city sightseeing tour. City tours use buses or coaches, and can be short as an hour or can last all day. For example in London there are double-deck buses taking passengers at certain points for guided tours. Tourists can hop on and off when they like. In good weather they can sit on the open upper deck.

Organized tours are accompanied by a tour guide, who conducts the tour and offers information on the sights and attractions that it goes to.

Guides need good interpersonal skills, as well as good presentation skills. Through the correct use of eye contact, gesture, and tone of voice, a guide must be able to engage their group’s attention. In addition, a tour guide has to be ready to take on a number of different roles, ranging from expert in history to practitioner of first aid.

Tourists can go on different city sightseeing tours round Krasnoyarsk. The most popular city bus tours round Krasnoyarsk are “Krasnoyarsk is the city of fountains”, “Surikov’s places in Krasnoyarsk”, “Krasnoyarsk in the evening” and others.

The best way to see a city is to make a guided tour of it.
