Freedom Ship: Will the Biggest Ship of All Time Ever be Built?
We’ve recently been writing about Freedom Ship, which if built would be the biggest ship of all time a few times over. We wrote an introduction to Freedom Ship, and we also speculated about what life would be like on board Freedom Ship. You’ll notice that we wrote “if built” above, and this is an essential part of the Freedom Ship project – at this point, it is merely a dream, one that almost certainly won’t be realized any time soon. The biggest ship of all time is as of now not a ship at all; indeed, there is not even a finalized plan for the Freedom Ship’s design. Will Freedom Ship ever be built? Read more […] -
Freedom Ship: What Would Life be Like on the Biggest Ship of All Time?
We recently wrote an article introducing our readers to Freedom Ship, the biggest ship of all time (if it’s ever built). We explained the basic plan and aim of the Freedom Ship endeavor, which boiled down to this: the goal isn’t so much to build the biggest ship ever (in part because Freedom Ship isn’t a traditional ship at all) as it is to create a “city at sea,” a community of workers, vacationers, and retirees that float around the world’s oceans. Although it is not clear if Freedom Ship will ever be built, it’s a fascinating concept, and after writing an introduction to the project, we couldn’t help but dig a little deeper. Based on the claims of the project’s promotional material, we thought it would be interesting to imagine what life on board Freedom Ship would be like. What is it like to live in a city at sea, one with no tie to fixed earth? Read more […] -
Freedom Ship: An Introduction to the Biggest Ship of All Time
Freedom Ship is an ambitious project that aims to build the biggest ship of all time – by far. Freedom Ship, which as of now is little more than dream that is still in the development stages (the design of the ship isn’t even complete), would be vastly larger than any other ship ever built. Indeed, it’s not even clear if Freedom Ship can be properly called a “ship” – it would be, literally, a floating city. The official website of Freedom Ship claims that the primary focus on the project is not to build the biggest ship of all time. Rather, the goal is to build the world’s first mobile community – this mobile community would float around the sea, which is why it is called Freedom Ship. What is Freedom Ship, and will the planned behemoth ever become a reality? Read more […] -
The Cruise Ships of MSC Cruises
As the fourth largest cruise line in the world, MSC Cruises is much like any other major cruise line. You can take an MSC Cruise to many parts of the world, and the cruise vacations the cruise line offers last anywhere from a couple of days to over two weeks. The on-board experience is filled with numerous dining and drinking opportunities, and there are plenty of places to relax, work out, and be entertained. This is what we covered in our last article about MSC Cruises. In that article we did not, however, cover the cruise ships that make up the MSC Cruises fleet. There are 12 cruise ships in the MSC fleet, and there is a new ship in the making, to be released next year. Below you will find a breakdown of the cruise ships of MSC Cruises. Read more […] -
The Cruise Line MSC Cruises
MSC Cruises is a cruise line that is owned by the Mediterranean Shipping Company, an enormous shipping line (the world’s largest, in fact, in terms of container vessel capacity) based in Geneva. The current fleet of MSC Cruises is composed of 11 ships, a small percentage of the 463 vessels operated by the Mediterranean Shipping Company. MSC Cruises has a six percent share of the cruise industry, making it the fourth largest cruise line in the world. Below you will find some basic information about MSC Cruises. Read more […] -
Singles Cruises: Are They Appropriate for Someone with an Open Relationship or Polyamorous Relationship Status?
Over the past few days, we’ve been closely examining who takes singles cruises. More precisely, we’ve been considering who should take a singles cruise. We’ve singled out some important attributes of singles-cruise passengers – for instance, they should be outgoing and open to new encounters – but the most important conclusion we reached is this: you should be single if you take singles cruise. If you aren’t single when you take a singles cruise, you compromise the greatest thing about singles cruises, and you also betray the trust of your partner. But in thinking about this requirement – that your relationship status should be “single” to take a singles cruise – it occurred to us that perhaps this isn’t entirely true. What if you are in an open relationship? Should those who are in open relationships go on singles cruises? This question is more difficult to answer than you might think. Read more […]
