I-poll ye-Conde Nast Traveler yonyaka "yeenqanawa ezihamba phambili zokuhamba ngenqanawa", ekhutshwe kwi-Intanethi ngoJanuwari, ibandakanya uninzi lwabarhanelwa njengesiqhelo. Abathathi-nxaxheba abangaphezu kwe-11,000 abathathi-nxaxheba bakhethe iDisney Cruise Line, iiNdawo zoSaziwayo neePrincess Cruise kweyona nqanawa ibalaseleyo (ngaphezulu kwe-1,500 yabakhweli) I-Royal Caribbean, i-Crystal Cruises, i-Regent Seas Seas, iDisney kunye ne-SeaDream zifumene amawonga afanelekileyo kwii-spas ze-onboard. Kwaye iGrand Circle Cruises 'Bizet iphumelele eyona ndawo iphambili kwinqanawa encinci (engaphantsi kwama-500 abakhweli) kudidi lonyaka wesibini ngokulandelelana.
Kodwa umakhi-mkhanyo weshishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa onamehlo okhozi, uTeijo Niemela, umpapashi weCruise Business Review, wachukunyiswa ngumngeneli omtsha kuluhlu lwabaphezulu abali-15 kwiinqanawa ezinobungakanani obuphakathi (abakhweli abangama-500 ukuya kwi-1,500). Kanye phaya phezulu kunye neCrystal - iCrystal Serenity kunye neCrystal Symphony ibeke amanani enye kunye nesibini - kunye neRegent Seven Seas - iiSeven Seas Voyager kunye neeSeven Seas Mariner zazintathu nezine - yayiyinqanawa uninzi lwabantu baseMntla baseMelika mhlawumbi abazange beve ngayo.
I-Viking XPRS yabakhweli abangama-2,500 2008, eyaphehlelelwa ngo-XNUMX, yathiywa igama ngabafundi beConde Nast njengeyona nqanawa yesihlanu iphakathi esiphakathi emhlabeni, ibetha eyona “mihle” rhoqo kwimigca efana ne-Oceania Cruises ne Holland America.
Kodwa nantsi irub. "Le ayisiyiyo kwaphela inqanawa yokuhamba ngenqanawa," utshilo uNiemela. "Sisikhephe esikhwelisa abantu neemoto ukusuka kwindawo engu-A ukuya ku-B, ngokukhawuleza okukhulu."
Kuyinyani ukuba iViking XPRS ibonelela ngezixhobo ezithile zokuhamba ngolwandle. Kukho iikhabhathi ezaneleyo ebhodini zokulala nabantu abangama-732 ngexesha lohambo lweyure eziyi-2.5 (ezi zezokuphumla okanye ukulala kunayo nayiphi na into; abakhweli abaseleyo baxhoma nje kumagumbi oluntu). Yayilwa yi-Tillberg Design yaseSweden, ekwaziwa ngokudala iindawo zikawonkewonke kwiinqanawa ezinje ngoKumkanikazi uMary 2 kunye ne-NCL yeNorway Pearl, iGem yaseNorway kunye ne-Norwegian Jewel. Iindawo zokutyela zisendlwini; iBistro Bella yindawo ye-buffet, kwaye iViking's Inn Pub isebenza ngokutya kwebha. (Ukutya akubandakanywanga kwimirhumo kwaye ngamaxabiso ongezelelweyo.) Kukwakhona nokuzonwabisa okuninzi kwimpompo kolo hambo lufutshane. Izinketho zivela kwi-troubadour kunye ne-DJ ukuya kwibhendi yomdaniso.
Ngaphandle kwenqanaba elipheleleyo lama-88.2 afike kwiViking XPRS kwindawo yesihlanu, abafundi beConde Nast nabo bavotele ngokwamacandelo, ukusuka kwiikhabhathi ukuya kwindawo yokutyela nakwimisebenzi ukuyila. Amanqaku aphezulu wenqanawa kukhenketho lwaselunxwemeni (92.7), olunye udidi, ngakumbi alwenzi ngqondo. UNiemela uthi ekuphela “kohambo” abalunikwayo yitikiti lebhasi elisuka kwizibuko laseTallinn lisiya esixekweni. Kananjalo, inqanaba lokuphakama ngokufanayo kohambo (96.3) sisikratshi entloko; IViking XPRS ihamba ngapha nangapha phakathi kweFinland ne-Estonia yonke imihla, ingemi kumazibuko endleleni.
Ke isikhephe senze njani ukuba sifike kuluhlu lweenqanawa zeConde Nast zegolide-chip? Uqikelelo luxhaphakile ukuba iprankster inokuba nakho ukubala iziphumo.
Ekungeneni kweViking XPRS kwiWikipedia, kukho inqaku elithi “ukubekwa kwenqanawe kwindawo ephezulu, eneneni, sisiphumo sokukhohlisa kolunye uhlobo.” Ukanti, umhleli weConde Nast Traveler, uBeata Loyfman, owayongamele olu phononongo, uyakhusela ukuchaneka kwayo. "Emva kokuba sifumene idatha, uxelele i-Cruise Critic namhlanje," ihamba ngendlela engqongqo yokutshekisha kunye neebhalansi, apho siyibeka khona ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo ukuze siqiniseke ukuba abekho ngenxa yokuvota.
"IViking XPRS iphumelele lonke uhlobo lokujonga."
Ukubandakanywa kwesikhephe semoto kuluhlu lweConde Nast lokuhamba ngenqanawa rhoqo ngonyaka kuyahlekisa kunayo nayiphi na enye into (ngaphandle kokuba umntu abhukishe "inqanawa" enqanaweni, elindele ukugqwesa ngokuhambelana neCrystal, iRegent Seven Seas kunye neOceania). Nokuba siyintoni na isizathu sokubonakala kwenqanawa kuluhlu, kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba, kulo nyaka, kunanini na ngaphambili, bekukho ubukho obomeleleyo bamanye amazwe kuphando.
"Kulo nyaka sizamile ukuvula ubungakanani beendawo zokuvota," utshilo uLoyfman. "Ihlabathi likhulu kwaye liyatshintsha, kwaye sizama ukubanzi kangangoko sinako."
Kananjalo, kuvavanyo lweConde Nast “Top Cruise Ships 2009” lwagubungela ukwanda kweenqanawa ezingama-418 kwaye kwanika abo bathatha iipolitiki ithuba lokuthatha ubunzima kwimizila yeenqanawa, ngaphaya kweViking Line, engengawo amagama asekhaya. U-Loyfman uqaphele ukuba i-Star Cruises ese-Malaysia, ebonelela ikakhulu abakhweli base-Asia, kunye ne-NapC esekwe kwi-MSC Cruises, i-pan-European line - eqala ukuzazisa e-US-zombini zenze umboniso onamandla kunyulo lwalo nyaka (nangona yomelele ngokwaneleyo, nokuba kungayiphi na imeko, ukwenza olona luhlu lubalaseleyo).
I-Orion Expedition Cruises 'Orion esekwe e-Aussie- eyayifanela ukulinganiswa kweeribhoni ezintlanu zokugqibela zeribhoni ezivela kubahleli kunye namalungu- yayiyenye yeendlela zokuhamba ngenqanawa ezazibandakanyiwe nguConde Nast kuvavanyo okokuqala. "Lelona lizwe lihamba phambili," utshilo uLoyfman, "enikezela… zonke izibonelelo zenqanawa yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya, apho unokufumana unyango lwe-spa kwaye wonwabele ikhefu lokutya lemvana, ngelixa uhamba ngolwandle uye kwiindawo ezikude emhlabeni- iindawo ezinje IPapua, iNew Guinea kunye neAntarctica. ”
