Cruising (cruise tourism) denotes travelling by water craft from place to place for pleasure; in the majority of cases, in Poland, such cruises take place on board of cruise ships. The latter ensure to passengers both accommodation and meals at the highest possible level as well as recreational or cultural activities and a facultative tourist sightseeing program both during the cruise as well as during the stopovers in various ports. The chief principle behind these type of voyages is that the journey is an end in itself; it is a pleasure and a way of spending one's free time; in many cases, the destination itself is of secondary importance; what is really important that next to it, there is an airport where the passengers of cruise ships can arrive or else take off from.(fragment of text)
