But the elegant, Royal Renaissance as well as the Raffaele, and the Michelangelo, the flagship of the Italian passenger shipping, then disappeared from the world’s ports. The time of the leisurely ocean crossing seemed forever over the journey with a deck chair on the sun deck, with large wardrobes and memorable gourmet meals.

Cruises are recovered children’s dreams, compensation for missed wide, unweaving Odysseys. Sea air makes not only hungry, but also addicted, because the journey over the sea granted pleasures that stir at the hem of the unreal – the lucky of versinkender coast. Heino Tegeler
