CRUISE

The cruise of the German ship Augusta Victoria in the Mediterranean Sea and the Near East from 22 January to 22 March 1891, with 241 passengers (including Albert Ballin and his wife), popularized cruises to a wider market. Christian Wilhelm Allers published an illustrated account of it as Backschisch (Baksheesh).

The first vessel built exclusively for luxury cruising was Prinzessin Victoria Luise of the German Empire, designed by Albert Ballin, general manager of the Hamburg-America Line. The ship was completed in 1900.

Contrary to maybe-popular belief, hiking doesn’t need to involve mountains. There are also completely flat beginner hiking trails, hikes through meadows, and even urban hikes in cities. (Although, IMHO, mountain hiking is the best form of hiking!) Unlock Our GREATEST Travel Secrets!

Safari is a sightseeing trip to an African national park, the main purpose of which is to observe wild animals. In the past, safaris were organized with the objective of hunting large animals. Africa's canonical Big Five: the elephant, lion, rhino, African buffalo, and leopard are associated with the hunting traditions of Africa.

In summary, a safari is a journey (or expedition) to look at wild animals, especially in East Africa and southern Africa.

The voyages of the Starship Enterprise commenced in the mid-1960s (our time) and the 23rd century (Trek time). In the original series, the cosmos of the 23rd century was an optimistic fantasy of a technologically advanced and socially enlightened future: liberal America's most hopeful vision of our collective tomorrow.

Trek never achieved the big ratings necessary to maintain an expensive series in production, but it was instant cult television.
