Yes! You heard it right… Star Clippers are planning to make the most prevalent liner ever. The organization has announced that the ship will sail for the first time in 2010. The leviathan is to carry 216 tourists at a time along with 140 crew members. It is planned that it will have rooms for all these. What is more surprising is that the dining hall will be organized in a way so that all the tourists can have dinner under the same room. It will also possess three pools. One of these will have a glass bottom. It’s really amazing. What more can you expect to have than a fitness center, a sports bar, somersaulting, private dining rooms, a tropical bar, water sports. The list goes on and on…

I am sure that this is going to be acclaimed as the most exclusive and luxurious liner ever. The ship will provide classy amenities to the elite class of people.

After talking about all these details, there is no doubt that the vessel will be 518 feet in length; the rigs would ascend 217 feet above the waterline, and will weigh 7,400 tons.

I am very enthusiastic to encounter this leviathan, and will be fascinated to travel at least once in it. I am sure that you too are of the same opinion.

Costa Maya, a popular port of Mexico, has been hit by a tempest, which has caused severe damages. The harbor is so beautiful that it looks just like a paradise, but with the indemnity that has emerged because of the fury of nature, it has become a vast ruin. The damage is estimated to be extremely rigorous, and the condition of the port is lamentable. Costa Maya is one of the most visited harbors in the Caribbean islands, and therefore, the consequences of this tornado are going to be harsh for the tourism of the region.

It is predicted by the experts that the haven will not be in a condition of operations for at least half a year. The sales and marketing administrator of the region, Cesar Lizarraga, is anxious because of the loss suffered by the dock. He was reluctant to give any new information, but remarked that the tornado has smashed almost half infrastructure of the port. The expenditure on the reparation of the damage caused will be extremely high. The port will not be able to function for around eight months, according to Lizarraga. There will be conferences arranged with the experts to deal with the situation.

The artificial harbor, which was nothing six years ago, beamed with vitality and life because of the crowds of tourists who had fun and frolic in this wonderful place. Now, the natural agents have turned it back to almost nothing. I remember a line by Tennyson, describing the mercilessness of nature: “Nature is red in tooth and claw”.

I hope that the port is revitalized as soon as possible.

The cruise-line has decided to do so every year in order to ensure the cleanliness and beauty of this excuisiteland. It is really a tremendous effort by the Majesty.

Majesty has been spending every summer for many years sailing round-trip Bermuda cruises from Boston, and the same has been decided for the next year too, although from Charleston, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

The immaculate land of bermuda will remain clean and beautiful till such initiatives are taken by the people. The local people have also appreciated this endeavour from the side of Majesty.
