На английском языкеПеревод на русский языкTravelling By SeaПутешествие на мореThere are numerous means of travelling, but many people choose to travel by sea. I’m sure they have a number of reasons for that. First of all, it is a pleasant feeling to be in boundless expanse of the sea or ocean. Secondly, travelling by sea is comfortable and speedy. Of course, modern liners are not the same as planes, but still they go rather fast. These liners are spacious, so you can walk on the board as you’re walking on solid ground ashore. They are like floating cities with all modern conveniences and facilities. Apart from that, people can enjoy the fresh air and ocean breeze. The blend of water and sky looks fantastic. This scenery is always worth capturing in memory or on camera. The important thing is that big liners are rather safe. No matter what the weather is like. Be it stormy or calm, it still feels comfortable and safe on board. Smaller ships are less comfortable. I have travelled on such boards twice and I felt sea-sick. By the way, it’s one of the drawbacks of travelling by sea. Some people have seasickness, so such travels become a real torture for them. People, who book cruise adventures, get the opportunity to live in comfortable cabins, to swim and sunbathe on board, to explore different decks, to use a wide choice of sport and entertainment facilities. Cabins are designed for two, four or six passengers. They look like train compartments but have different windows, called portholes. Passengers of liners don’t have to worry about meals. They are served regularly in restaurants. In other words, travelling by sea can bring many pleasant moments, only if you are not seasick.Существует много путешествия, но многие люди предпочитают путешествовать по морю. Я уверена, что у них есть на это ряд причин. Прежде всего, приятно плыть по бескрайним просторам моря или океана. Во-вторых, путешествие по морю удобно и быстро. Конечно, современные лайнеры не такие быстрые, как самолеты, но все же передвигаются довольно быстро. Эти лайнеры так просторны, что можно прогуливаться на борту, словно по твердой земле берега. Они похожи на плавающий город со всеми удобствами и возможностями. Кроме того, люди могут наслаждаться свежим воздухом и океанским бризом. Сочетание воды и неба выглядит просто фантастически. Эти пейзажи стоит запечатлеть в памяти или на камеру. Важно то, что крупные лайнеры достаточно безопасны. Они не зависят от того, какая погода. Будь то шторм или штиль, на борту по-прежнему безопасно и комфортно. Корабли, которые меньше размерами, менее комфортны. Я путешествовала на подобном судне дважды и неважно себя чувствовала. Кстати, это один из недостатков путешествия по морю. Некоторые люди страдают морской болезнью, поэтому такие путешествия становятся настоящей пыткой для них. Люди, которые заказывают круизные путешествия, получают возможность жить в комфортабельных каютах, купаться и загорать на борту, прогуливаться по палубам, пользоваться широким выбором спортивных и развлекательных объектов. Каюты рассчитаны на двух, четырех или шесть пассажиров. Они выглядят как купе поезда, но окна у них отличаются и называются иллюминаторами. Пассажирам лайнеров не приходиться беспокоиться о еде. Её регулярно подают в ресторанах. Иначе говоря, путешествие по морю может принести массу приятных впечатлений, только если вы не страдаете морской болезнью.
