The geography of cruise routes on the "Subtleties of Tourism"
- Hot tours
We have already talked about the fact that cruises are not so terrible (roads, difficult for the vestibular apparatus, tiring), as many tourists imagined them until relatively recently. They also told about the routine of life on board the cruise ship - and even went with you to a virtual cruise(we hope everyone remembers that it was jointly decided not to spread some details of the farewell gala dinner - for the common good?) All important points and the essential subtleties are already covered. This time we will command "full speed ahead" and go at full speed along and across our globe with you, highlighting the ten most popular cruise destinations. Why exactly ten? And because the number is very perishing round.
Mediterranean Sea
Mediterranean cruises are attractive primarily because of the abundance of sights that can be seen from the beach. Even the list of cities where cruise ships stop will say a lot to a knowledgeable travel agent: Naples, Marseille, Istanbul, Venice, Nice, Malaga, Dubrovnik. In general, during such trips, tourists are provided with a variety of leisure activities, a sea of impressions and excellent cuisine. Perhaps the only real downside to Mediterranean cruises is the crowdedness of the cities visited, which is felt mainly during the high season.
The best time to go on a Mediterranean cruise is from May to September.
Persian Gulf
Cruises by Persian Gulf, as a rule, are chosen by more sophisticated travelers who are already bored with the usual tourist routes. The best time for such a cruise is considered to be early spring and late autumn, when in more northern countries, despite all their picturesqueness, it is still too cool for travel by water, and in the countries through which the cruise route passes, the heat, on the contrary, is not so strong as to prevent long walks on land.
The main advantage of Persian Gulf cruises is their pronounced exoticism. During the trip, tourists will visit cities where most people still wear traditional clothes, and the way of life is radically different from the usual European one, they will be able to appreciate the masterpieces of authentic Arab architecture and feel the atmosphere of the mysterious East. In addition, the weather during such a trip is guaranteed to be good. all year round.
On the other hand, for a significant number of tourists, the continuous flow of Arabian exoticism may be excessive: say, if your travelers from the entire Middle East only like the Emirates, chances are that such a cruise is not for them. However, work on the selection of a cruise in any case should always begin with a detailed study of the tastes and preferences of the client.
Mediterranean cruise
Arctic
Those who are attracted by the cold, but unusual beautiful nature Scandinavia, check out Arctic cruises. Their route usually covers the Norwegian archipelago Svalbard, located only 1200 kilometers from North Pole and inhabited by many polar bears, the fjords of Greenland and Iceland, which is worth stopping to see waterfalls, lakes and geothermal springs. Yes, and the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, undoubtedly deserves a visit.
Arctic cruises should only be taken during the warm season, best of all in July or August.
Australia and New Zealand
If your cruiser tourists have their own unloved time of the year, this is a great reason to spend it on a cruise in Australia and New Zealand, because the colder it is in our hemisphere, the warmer it is in Australia - and vice versa. Not to mention the fact that escaping in this way from winter frosts or autumn slush, they will have the opportunity to go around the whole continent in a circle (if you choose a large cruise lasting a month), along the way enjoying the scenery and making stops in major ports, such as Sydney , Cairns , Darwin or Auckland .
The Australian fauna deserves special mention: it is unlikely that in any other country in the world you can see so many unusual animals in their natural habitat. Only in Australia live wild dingoes and saltwater crocodiles, kangaroos and platypuses, cuties koalas and Tasmanian devils - devilishly vicious and devilishly charming.
Cruises in the Caribbean are more suitable for lovers of entertainment, although the beauty of the local nature should not be underestimated.
Antarctica
Perhaps the most exotic cruises are Antarctic cruises. However, you have to pay for any exotic, and such trips are very, very expensive. At the same time, the smaller the ship chosen by tourists, the more expensive the trip will cost. But each banknote they spend will more than pay off with impressions with a 100% guarantee of uniqueness - well, where else can you see unusual extraterrestrial landscapes, consisting of many kilometers of ice and snow shining in the sun? If your clients go on a cruise on a small ship, they will have the opportunity to sail closer to the coast, enter tiny fjords, swim in small straits where more capital ships they simply wouldn’t fit, and watch colonies of penguins diving from icebergs into the water and seals lazily basking on the shore.
Antarctica, located in the Southern Hemisphere, should be visited in winter, when a relatively warm polar day sets in there and the kilometers of ice covering the Southern Arctic Ocean that have receded for a while do not interfere with swimming.
norwegian fjords
The animals inhabiting the islands, by the way, are not at all afraid of people. You will hardly find another place in the world where you can watch them from such a close distance. The best time to cruise the Galapagos is late spring: from mid-April to mid-May.
Alaska
Cruises in Alaska are also primarily attractive for lovers of nature, which here is much more diverse than it might seem at first glance. Just standing on the shore, you can see whales - and very close. Also noteworthy are waterfalls, glaciers and wild forests inhabited by no less wild animals. However, Alaska is interesting not only for the beauty of nature, but here you can also meet various native tribes that still support ancient traditions. Another undoubted advantage of traveling in Alaska is the cool climate. All summer the temperature on the coast rarely exceeds +20 ° C, which is more conducive to contemplation of the beauties of nature than the sweltering heat.
caribbean
Cruises in the Caribbean are more suitable for lovers of entertainment, although the beauty of the local nature should not be underestimated. On the this moment Caribbean islands are one of the most popular among tourists exotic places, so even if your travelers get tired of the activities on the ship, they can easily find something to their taste on land. In addition, the Caribbean is one of the the best places for lovers aquatic species sports.
The best months for a Caribbean cruise are January and February, but from June to the beginning of winter, it is better to refrain from traveling to the shores of the archipelago.
Mexico
While cruising in Mexico, there is something for absolutely everyone. Firstly, tourists will be able to visit beautiful beaches, go diving or fish in the open sea, and secondly, get to know the Mayan culture and just enjoy Mexican nature and cuisine.
The Mexican Riviera stretches for 1,500 kilometers along the western coast of Mexico from the resort of Cabo San Lucas to Acapulco. A leisurely journey along the Mexican coast with calls at all major ports and sightseeing will take ten days. The best time for sailing is from November to April, when it is not as hot and humid as in summer.
Among the variety of trips, you can choose a cruise of various directions. Many go to long-distance navigation across the ocean, while others are not averse to taking a walk in the Mediterranean, where everything is located in close proximity. Each of the options has its own advantages, which we will talk about. Among other things, there is a third option for organizing a trip - renting yachts.
Travel around the world
If you prefer to make independent travel, then on the site https://teplohodik.com.ua you can use the services of renting yachts and motor ships. This option is great for small events or romantic dinners, where only the crew and you and your significant other are on board. It is especially pleasant to take evening walks during sunset. As for other events, yachts are also rented by graduates for corporate parties, anniversaries and even weddings. However, if you need something bigger and bigger, then feel free to take a trip to the Mediterranean.
There are usually several directions here. Some prefer to look at the Scandinavian countries. Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden are very popular, although they are located near the Baltic and North Seas. Here the climate is much harsher than in the southern part of Europe. However, the landscapes are incredibly beautiful and unique. In just a couple of days, you can visit all Scandinavian countries and get a first impression of life in these places. Concerning mediterranean sea, which washes Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Italy, Spain and other countries, the climate here is much milder. But here too a large number of paradise islands. Do not miss the opportunity to swim in the warm sea, which you will not do in Scandinavia, except on rare days.
Ocean travel
Not every tourist likes this travel option, and there is an explanation for this. Firstly, many are simply afraid to go on a long voyage, as it is not entirely safe. Secondly, for long days and nights, tourists have only one picture - the vast expanses of the ocean. Third - constant pitching. However, all these disadvantages are usually canceled due to the large amount of entertainment on board the ship. There is a casino here, bars, restaurants, cafes are open, there is a large swimming pool, you can make friends and have fun.
Each ship offers something exciting and a varied program of entertainment. As a result, the week-long trip goes unnoticed. Also, do not forget that modern technology does not stand still and today it is much safer to navigate the water than it used to be.

Theme of the project: "Cruise on the largest islands of the world"
I regret that I did not see the face of the whole Earth, All its oceans, icy peaks and sunsets. Only the sail of a dream led my ships around the world, Only in the glass of shop windows did I meet albatrosses and stingrays. I didn't hear how Big Ben strikes the hour in London, I didn't see the stars slide down to the fiords lower and lower, How the bitter snow of the Atlantic foams boils astern, And violets in Paris turn blue at the beginning of spring.
Goals:– to master the solution of design problems on the map;
- learn how to work in a group;

"Project: "Cruise on the largest islands of the world""
SUBJECT: GEOGRAPHY
CLASS: 6 - 7
Theme of the project "Cruise on the largest islands"
Every person is born a dreamer and a traveler. In childhood, reading the books of Jules Verne, Obruchev, Fersman, we strive to set foot on an unknown, but enticing shore with secrets: the world of distant lands is calling for itself. However, in real life not everyone manages to become a participant in discoveries, and then hearts respond with sadness to the touching lines of R. Rozhdestvensky:
I regret that I did not see the face of the whole Earth,
All its oceans, icy peaks and sunsets.
Only the sail of a dream led my ships around the world,
Only in the glass of shop windows did I meet albatrosses and stingrays.
I didn't hear Big Ben strike the hour in London
I did not see how the stars are sliding down to the fiords,
As the bitter snow of the Atlantic foam boils astern,
And at the beginning of spring violets turn blue in Paris.
Goals:- master the solution of design problems on the map;
Learn to work in a group;
Evaluate and discuss project results.
Activity Component: work with a contour map; laying a route on the map, measuring distances on the map; determination of geographical coordinates; discussion and evaluation of work in a group and class; evaluation of your results.
Emotional value component: reveal the importance of using knowledge and skills about the World Ocean in real practice; show the value of working in a team (group).
The implementation of the project task takes place in a playful way: the class “goes” on a sea voyage, “cruise”, around the largest islands of the world on the ship “Alexander Suvorov”. This journey requires physical map hemispheres contour map, a notebook (or a separate sheet) where the "Traveler's Cruise Itinerary" is drawn up.

Students complete tasks in order. As experience shows, it is still difficult for them to work in a group. Therefore, it is better if they do it on their own.
For self-assessment, the table is filled out:
| This was easy for me | It turned out to be difficult | I didn't succeed | In general, I work: a) liked it b) didn't like it |
Summarizing the above, I conclude that practical work in this form in geography lessons is necessary, they help children learn difficult-to-learn material in a relaxed, playful way. The process of memorization goes on several levels, children immediately see the result, they have an incentive to create new projects.
