Maldivian Dhoni is a traditional boat used by fishermen and tourists in Maldives, which is a strong symbol of nationalism in a country which is mostly dominated by vast bodies of water.

Those wishing to indulge their hedonistic urges can opt for the Yasawa Island cruises, but for those wishing to truly explore and discover, the 6-night, tri-annual &#39;Historical and Cultural Cruise&#39; is for you. <a href="http://www.cruiselinefans.com" rel="nofollow">luxury cruise deals</a>mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08925812512017682675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233448968069333748.post-40245643703445797032009-12-05T03:28:54.366+11:002009-12-05T03:28:54.366+11:00I agree with Sven’s statement, because I work at Lindblad and I know their history in polar regions. For 40 years both Sven and his father have taken people to the Arctic and Antarctica. Sven’s dad, Lars Eric Lindblad, took the first non-scientific expedition to Antarctica in 1967. Working on these voyages today is just as exciting as when I started six years ago. A new dimension of my job is writing the Lindblad Expeditions blog. I invite you to check it out at www.expeditions.com/blog to find out more about more about us and our polar expeditions.

Without meaning to sound snobbish, the sort of people<br />who book Pandaw are looking for the higher end and are not cost conscious.<br />They also know better than to trust self awarded star ratings!<br /><br />We are a bit miffed though to be described as 3.5 star! there are no star<br />ratings in force for river cruises, certainly none for the Mekong and in any<br />case it is a little premature to put a star rating on an incomplete ship<br />like Jayavarman, that has had its delivery date twice postponed.<br /><br />I would guess your description of the Jayavarman as &#39;opulent&#39; is based on<br />fancy computer-generated web images rather than actual inspection.<br />I am told by various impartial visitors that the reality is somewhat<br />different. These guys are brilliant at marketing but when it comes to ship<br />design, function and management much remains to be seen.<br /><br /> Funny, but people always say about Pandaw that we are rubbish at<br />marketing, have a rather dull website and an even duller brochure. All true.<br />We are rather better at running ships which is why we have one of the<br />highest repeat rates in the business.<br /><br />Note also we have three ships on the Mekong, not two as you mention -<br />with a total of 190 berths on offer. I think we do deserve mention for<br />opening up the Mekong in 2002 against all the odds. It is flattering that<br />there are now four larger vessels copying our formula not to mention several<br />smaller ones. That is the greatest possible accolade!<br /><br />These are minor, slightly pedantic thoughts from an old riverman...<br />please think of doing a write up on our Ganges cruise that is where the real<br />battle is - against the elements!<br /><br />All regards,<br /><br />Paul Strachan<br />Founder<br />Pandaw Cruises<br />www.pandaw.comRoderickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13114562768626186868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233448968069333748.post-997113940011729442009-10-24T19:04:05.287+11:002009-10-24T19:04:05.287+11:00<a href="http://www.norwegiancoastalcruises.com" title="Hurtigruten Cruises" rel="nofollow">Norway is an incredibly beautiful and scenic country.

We salute the authorities for their speedy police work.<br /> <br />Sunday&#39;s incident on the Aqua was extremely unfortunate. However, let me assure you of the following:<br /> <br />· All passengers and crew involved in the incident are well and unharmed<br /> <br />· All the guests have since continued on their planned trips within Peru<br /> <br />· The Aqua is currently cruising the Amazon with a full passenger count<br /> <br />· A variety of measures have been implemented to assist in preventing future random incidents of this nature, including the discreet stationing of security personnel on board.<br /> <br />We must stress that this was an isolated and random act and is completely uncommon in the area. We are hopeful that the speedy apprehension of those responsible will draw this episode to a close.<br /> <br />I thank you for your understanding. Please feel free to contact us for any further questions.<br /><br />Francesco Galli Zugaro<br /><br />Chief Executive Officer <br /><br />Aqua Expeditions<br />T: (51 1) 368 3868<br />F: (51 1) 368 5759<br />Toll free: (1) 866 603 3687<br />www.aquaexpeditions.comRoderickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13114562768626186868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233448968069333748.post-22863926068633649472009-07-25T01:31:31.715+10:002009-07-25T01:31:31.715+10:00where can I order this 2009 adventure cruising guide??Thorwald Westmaashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15943974527115436317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233448968069333748.post-17520065030854235742009-04-19T01:26:00.000+10:002009-04-19T01:26:00.000+10:00http://www.adventurecruiseguide.com/<br /><br />This is the 2008 edition.<br />2009 up shortly :)Roderickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13114562768626186868noreply@blogger.com
