Cruising as a vacationing option is gaining popularity. While the Caribbean is a much preferred cruise destination, a European cruise is no less exciting. When it comes to these cruises there are several options that you can choose from like, the Mediterranean, the North Sea, Scandinavia and many more. The cruise ships designed to take you around Europe come in all sizes too, ranging from a capacity of one hundred and going up to three thousand.
A river cruise on the Rhine or Danube is a good way to cruise Europe. These European cruises are designed so that they stop at several ports allowing passengers to explore them. These luxury cruises are not tall as they have to move under bridges across rivers and are smaller too with a general capacity of 50-200 passengers and gently pass down the rivers taking in the panoramic scenes and cities that they pass.

Spirit in Sport: peak performance & the zone in sport
Book Intro (Preface)
By Fiona Taylor, 1992 Olympian, mystic, coach and former World Champion Windsurfer
“The board glides smoothly across the water.
Under my feet the board feels light and responsive. It is purely an extension of me,
there is no resistance.
The sail is an extension of my upper body. It feels comfortable.
The rig feels right. It responds effortlessly to the increase in wind.
My body feels lean and strong.
I love being on the water. I love being here.
I have an inner knowing of all that is today. I am at home on the water.
The wind, the waves and the water are my friends.
I am at One with them.
Unity. No hesitation – just inspiration
A feeling of Lightness of being.
Joy, a rush of energy as I accelerate in a 3 knot gust………
Whee. I am free.
The six minute start signal is about to go.
My timer is set for the 6 minute count down to the start.
It is about the wind and me.
There are other boards around. I know who they are, and I know that I know this place better than them and I will win this race. There is no doubt whatsoever.
My focus is on just being in the moment..
I am not thinking.
I am just feeling. Everything feels surreal, my focus is not on any ‘one thing’ but simply being at one with all that is.
Intuitively I approach the line. I have already chosen where I want to start.
No one is in my way. I have claimed my starting position.
As I look up wind towards the top mark, the wind has remained steady. I have a race plan and I just know. I am just in the now moment.
Bang – the start gun, with four pumps I am off the line with a clear start.
I am fast, I feel fast as the board glides up wind……………
My focus is on being at one with the wind, as I round the top mark first.
My focus is on feeling light and at one with the board. I am so far ahead now that I can still sail completely free, me and the wind, without needing to protect my position from the windsurfers behind me. This race is mine. I knew it was before the start……
I love windsurfing……I love just being out here on the ocean………..”
