<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>O transatlântico MSC Fantasia, segundo a operadora MSC, é 4 m mais alto que a Torre de Pisa.</p>
<p>O navio tem capacidade para transportar cerca de 4 mil passageiros, além de 1.325 tripulantes. O transatlântico tem 333 m de comprimento e 52 m de altura. Segundo a operadora, os motores que impulsionam o barco são equivalentes à força de 120 motores de Ferrari.</p>

<p>The lucky one that got his hart is non other that Italian television presenter Elisabetta Canalis, with whom the actor lives a beautiful love story for months. <a href="http://celebgossipandrumors.wordpress.com/2009/09/20/george-clooney-is-looking-for-a-new-italian-vila/">The actor</a> will take the big step in December, right before Christmas as sources surrounding the star have revealed for the Metropolitan Post. The same sources affirm that the wedding would take place offshore, on a cruise ship. The star and his girlfriend have already started to make the 200 guests list. First on the list are friends of George: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Cindy Crawford and Rand Berger, Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas, model Karen Duffy, Bill Murray and pop diva, Madonna. Actually, the singer was the one who advised the bride and groom to make the wedding offshore to escape the paparazzi.</p>

<p>The location chosen by George and Elisabetta for their wedding is cruise ship MSC Fantasia, which hosted world leaders at the G8 summit this year in Sardinia. The vessel, built in Italy, is high as a 23-story building, has 1637 cabin spread on 27,000 square meters, and has, between others, a theater room, spa, four restaurants, two bars, a Formula 1 simulator , Cinema 4D, Squash courts and a mega club.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Following the launch of the <em>MSC Fantasia</em>, in Naples last December, MSC Cruises has christened its new flagship, <em>MSC Splendida</em>, in splendid style in the Spanish port city of Barcelona. Sister ship to the <em>MSC Fantasia</em>, her arrival expands MSC Cruises&#8217; fleet to 10 vessels.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The event featured song and dance performances by renowned artists, including a Flamenco performance by Joaquin Cortes, a display of Castells -the Catalan tradition of human towers, as well as a concert by world famous tenor Jose Carreras, accompanied by the Orquestra Simfonica del Valles. Completing the ceremony was the parade of the ship&#8217;s officers and the traditional cutting of the ribbon by Italian screen legend Sophia Loren, godmother of <em>MSC Splendida.</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Capable of carrying up to 3,959 passengers, the ship boasts 1,637 staterooms (80% offering ocean views) and the luxurious MSC Yacht Club, a 99-suite club area designed to provide a 6-star experience at sea, complete with full butler service. Like the <em>MSC Fantasia</em>, the vessel offers over 26,941 square meters of public space, where guests can enjoy recreational facilities such as the expansive theatre, Aurea Spa, 4 restaurants, bars and lounges, a disco club, casino, shopping, bowling alley, Formula One simulator and the Aqua Park featuring 150 fountains which illuminate at night to the rhythm of music.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>MSC Splendida</em> is also the latest in a new generation of energy efficient cruise ships and is the first ship to be recognized by the Bureau Veritas with the &#8220;Energy Efficient Design&#8221; award for its use of best-practice standards throughout its design and onboard systems to conserve energy. She also joins <em>MSC Fantasia</em> in receiving the &#8220;Bureau Veritas Six Golden Pearls&#8221; designation for compliance with the 3 highest international standards in environment, health and safety, and food safety.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>MSC Splendida</em> will cruise the Mediterranean and the European Atlantic seaboard, calling at Alexandria, Ashdod, Athens, Barcelona, Casablanca, Crete, Genoa, Madeira, Malta, Malaga, Naples, Olympia, Rhodes, Rome, Taormina, Tenerife and Tunis.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Lunedì 20 Aprile, alle ore 11.30, presso la stazione Marittima, a bordo della MSC Fantasia, l’ultima nata in casa MSC, presentazione di “Vita In Crociera”, il nuovo format televisivo scritto, realizzato e prodotto da Village Productions. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><!--more-->Saranno presenti il produttore Saverio Panico, il regista Pino Sondelli, gli attori Peppe Miale e Stefania Santececca protagonisti di uno dei tre episodi della fiction, e lo staff della produzione. Vita in Crociera, giunta ormai alla II edizione, è fiction per raccontare il meraviglioso<span>  </span>mondo delle crociere. Tra il Mediterraneo e l’Egeo, 3 storie si intrecciano a bordo delle navi della flotta MSc, luogo ideale per vivere 7 giorni di libertà, di relax, di sport, di puro divertimento. Storie di vita quotidiana vissute in alto mare, alla scoperta di paradisi e rotte incantevoli trasportati dalla brezza e dalle onde! Un format autentico, dedicato a chi ama viaggiare, dallo stile veloce e divertente per mostrare con semplicità e accuratezza al telespettatore-viaggiatore le diverse sfaccettature di una vacanza in crociera. Amori, amicizie, incontri, divertimento ed esperienze incredibili: questi alcuni degli ingredienti di successo che si assaporeranno in ogni tappa ed atmosfera per vivere momenti indimenticabili. “Vita in Crociera” andrà in onda su Tele A+ a partire da giovedì 23 Aprile alle ore 23.10, e il sabato alle ore 14.05. 3 navi, 3 storie, 8 puntate da 24 minuti per raccontare, tappa dopo tappa, le avventure “in alto mare”dei protagonisti e le loro emozioni possibili solo a bordo di una nave da crociera! A condurre Vita in Crociera la dolce Silvia Travierso che guiderà i telespettatori alla scoperta delle storie che si svolgono a bordo delle navi. Novità di quest’anno saranno una rubrica dedicata al mondo delle offerte commerciali MSC, e uno spazio dedicato al “dietro le quinte” della prestigiosa flotta. Realizzeremo interviste al personale responsabile di diversi settori, dal tecnico all’ufficiale di bordo passando per l’animatore per far conoscere ai telespettari-viaggiatori cosa si cela dietro il lavoro del mondo MSC, dando eventuali consigli utili per intraprendere una carriera a bordo. Tutte le notizie saranno disponibili sul sito </span><a href="http://www.vitaincrociera.it/"><span style="font-size:x-small;">www.vitaincrociera.it</span></a><span style="font-size:x-small;"> e su </span><a href="http://www.msccrociere.it/"><span style="font-size:x-small;">www.msccrociere.it</span></a><span style="font-size:x-small;">, mentre per informazioni e curiosità basterà scrivere a </span><a href="mailto:info@vitaincrociera.it"><span style="font-size:x-small;">info@vitaincrociera.it</span></a><span style="font-size:x-small;">. Testi e sceneggiature sono di Katia Manna, Silvia Travierso e Pino Ecuba. Giovani, carine, dinamiche. Le due protagoniste della crociera su MSC Musica in giro per le Isole Greche sono due amiche, una più vivace ed espansiva, l’altra più seriosa. Claudia convince Marika a partire per una vacanza per distrarsi dopo la fine della sua storia d’amore. Marika si lascia convincere anche se all’inizio è un po’<span>  </span>titubante perché è convinta che la crociera sia la tipica vacanza per le coppie e le famiglie. Giorno dopo giorno, anche grazie all’esuberanza e alla facilità con cui la sua amica fa amicizia, sarà costretta a ricredersi e ad apprezzare molti aspetti della crociera… </span></span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Spring Break was great! My mom, sisters, and grandparents all came to meet me in Barcelona to catch ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><!--StartFragment--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a rel="attachment wp-att-217" href="http://erikawase.wordpress.com/2009/04/16/spring-break/fantasia1/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-217" title="fantasia1" src="http://erikawase.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/fantasia1.jpg" alt="fantasia1" width="305" height="154" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Spring Break was great! My mom, sisters, and grandparents all came to meet me in Barcelona to catch a cruise on the Mediterranean. I really have missed my family so I was so excited to see them and spend quality time with them. I have not gone this long ever in my life without seeing my mom or sisters.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The cruise was an Italian ship called the <a href="http://www.msccruises.co.uk/fleet/msc-fantasia.html">MSC Fantasia</a>, it is brand new, only 4 months old, and the most beautiful ship I have ever seen. The crew was so welcoming and really made you feel at home, the food was spectacular (Italian food all day every day), and the entertainment like the shows, casino, and disco, all made it wonderful.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our first stop was Marseille, France where we took a car to Provence, which is in the South of France. Next, we went to Genoa, Italy where we took another car ride to Portofino, which is the Italian Riviera. Then, we went to Naples, Italy where we took a really long and nauseating car ride along the Italian coast towards Positano. In the end, the car ride was worth the views but I got extremely sick. After Naples we went to the capital of Sicily called Palermo. The next stop was my favorite stop and that was to Tunisia, which is located in North Africa. This was my favorite stop because it was very different then the rest since it was a poorer country with villages and really beautiful mountains. Finally, we went to Palma de Mallorca where we happened to be there for the coldest and windiest day so no beaches and sun in the Balearic Islands of Spain!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Each stop was very beautiful. This was not really much of a touristy trip, which I have done with my friends all semester where we go to main cities and visit museums and historical sights. My cruise was more of a relaxing vacation where we went to beautiful places with not much historical sights, just cute little towns. I really enjoyed that aspect of this trip because I was so sick of traveling and running around cities to try and make sure I could see everything important. Every place I went to was quaint towns and I even found my honeymoon destination, Portofino, Italy!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now I am off to find this romantic future husband of mine to take me to this honeymoon destination!</p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">TIPS:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Most my friends traveled around Europe by train and had to drag a huge luggage with them from place to place. If I were to recommend a trip for future study abroad students I would definitely recommend a cruise. Its easier, you get to see a whole lot more, you have a home base (no dragging suitcases), all meals included, and just plain EASIER!</p>

<p>Vi har hatt en flott vinterferie på MSC Fantasia. Men uken etter skjedde det dramatiske ting med båten. Da den lå i havn på Mallorca slet den seg fra kai. Jeg måtte bare ha med bildene av det i bloggen min.<!--more--><a title="Ramlet i vannet da broa kollapset" href="http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/utenriks/1.6511668"></a></p>
<p><a title="Ramlet i vannet da broa kollapset" href="http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/utenriks/1.6511668">NRK</a> skrev også om det. Men de gir meg ikke muligheten til å legge videoen rett på min side, sånn som YouTube.</p>

<p>Lørdag fylte far, svigerfar og farfar 85 år. Vi var i sjøen hele dagen, på vei mot Madeira. Det ble gaver og sang på formiddagen. Og middag på den fine franske restauranten på dekk 16. En flott feiring. Mange sms-er.</p>

<p>I dag fyller Stian 16 og Tore 13. Feiringen med alle blir i kveld. Men det ble en samling på rommet til Inger Anne og Sigbjørn med presanger i formiddag.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Vi er på vei fra Barcelona til Madeira. Har passert Gibraltar. Kommer til Madeira lørdag morgen.  Dagen begnte med overskyet vær. Men utpå ettermiddagen har det blitt mer og mer sol.  Vi har prøvd noen av badebassengene for første gang. Vi har sett 4D-film. Det er som berg og dalbane, bare stolen står på samme sted hele tiden. Men den rører på seg og du får vind i håret. Jeg holdt øynene igjen for det meste.  Nå er Stian og Ørjan på 16. dekk for å prøve leirdueskyting. Håper Stian får være med, i formiddag sa de han måtte være 18 år, men at han kanskje kunne få prøve i ettermiddag.  I kveld er det gallamiddag. Vi skal kle oss i de fineste klærne vi har. Det må vel være bra nok for to som har bursdag.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Die MSC Fantasia wurde erst im Dezember in Neapel getauft und ist also fast noch nagelneu. Die Fantasia wurde von STX France gebaut. Ist für mich ein Kandidat für meine nächste Kreuzfahrt. Mir gefällt das Konzept des MSC Yacht Club. Eine schöne Suite mit Concierge-Dienst und exklusivem Butler-Service. Ein mit einer Glaskupper bedeckter Pool. Obersvationslounge mit verglaster Front für eine freie Sicht auf das Meer &#8230;. Das alle könnte mich schon locken. Hat aber sicherlich auch seinen Preis. Wie mir scheint, ist man ab 2.000 Euro für eine Woche dabei. Man gönnt sich ja sonst nix, oder?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In a spectacular launch event held at the Italian port city of Naples on 18 Dec 2008, MSC Cruises christened its latest vessel and flagship, the 133,500 GRT <em>MSC Fantasia. </em>Measuring 1,092 feet long, 196 feet high and 124 feet wide, the ship is the largest built for a European ship owner and can accomodate 3,274 guests in its 1,637 cabins.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Zwei Diven treffen aufeinander – Am 18. Dezember  wurde die <a title="MSC Fantasia" href="http://www.mscruise.de/mscruise_schiff_MSC_Fantasia_2.html">MSC Fantasia</a> feierlich in Neapel getauft. Ehrengast und Oscargewinnerin Sophia Loren, die bereits seit einigen Jahren offizielle Taufpatin der MSC- Flotte ist, taufte das prachtvolle Flaggschiff von MSC unter lautem Jubel der zahlreichen Gäste. Unter den exklusiven Besuchern der feierlichen Zeremonie waren unter anderem auch die Liedermacher Lucio Dalla und Pino Daniele anzutreffen.</p>
<p>Die nun ehemals letzte Schiffsjungfer des Jahres 2008 ist das größte Kreuzfahrtschiff, das jemals von einer europäischen Reederei bestellt wurde. Die MSC Fantasia ist mit 333 m Länge, 38 m Breite und einer Höhe von fast 60 m länger als der Eiffelturm und größer als der schiefe Turm von Pisa.</p>
<p>Auf insgesamt 18 Decks, von denen allein 13 für die Passagiere zur Verfügung stehen, bietet sie 3.959 Passagieren und 1.325 Crewmitgliedern platz. Der Luxusliner verfügt unter anderem über ein „Virtual Reality“-4D-Kino, Theater, Formel 1- Simulator, Einkaufszentrum, verschiedene Themenbars und Restaurants sowie viele weitere Einrichtungen. Beim Gang über die funkelnde Swarovski-Treppe wird die edle Ausstattung dieses Luxusschiffes spürbar. Als erstes Kreuzfahrtschiff weltweit verfügt die MSC Fantasia mit dem exklusiven MSC Yacht Club auch über einen neuen VIP-Luxusbereich mit 99 geräumigen und bis zu 65 m² großen Suiten, einer Bar, Solarium, 2 Jacuzzi, Pool mit Glas-Kuppel und 24- Stunden Butler- und Concierge-Service.</p>

Mais revenons à nos moutons &#8230; Donc avec Mamounette, nous avons affronté le froid pour voir le départ.<br />
On est arrivées juste à temps, puisque le paquebot commençait à partir à 14.00 et nous avons garé la voiture à 14.10.<br />
Le <em>MSC Fantasia</em> avait déjà commencé sa marche arrière dans la Loire ( d&#8217;ailleurs, du bout de notre rue, nous l&#8217;avons vu entre les bâtiments d&#8217;habitation, c&#8217;était impressionnant )<br />
Voici donc où il en était quand nous nous sommes positionnées, appareils prêts à mitrailler, sur la jetée.<br />
<img class="alignnone" src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/chris-kitty/IMG_9726.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" /><br />
<img class="alignnone" src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/chris-kitty/IMG_9728.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" /><br />
.<br />
Je vais quand même vous expliquer un peu la manœuvre car vous devez vous demander pourquoi donc elle recule cette barque ?<br />
A la fin de sa construction, le paquebot ( celui là comme tous les autres &#8211; sauf le Queen Mary 2 pour cause de dimensions hors normes ) se trouve dans la Forme Joubert pour les finitions. Kézako ? Pour faire simple, la Forme Joubert c&#8217;est un petit bassin ( 350m de long pour 50 de large ), entre deux portes : une donnant vers le port et une donnant sur la Loire.<br />
Le paquebot est donc dans ce bassin, nez vers le port et derrière vers la Loire. Pour sortir, une seule solution : reculer dans la Loire, tiré par des remorqueurs. Car oui, à Saint Nazaire, c&#8217;est encore la Loire, l&#8217;Océan Atlantique commence un peu avant La Baule, à dix kilomètres de là.<br />
<img class="alignnone" src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/chris-kitty/IMG_0624.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /><br />
.<br />
Oh, tiens, un gros moustique !<br />
<img class="alignnone" src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/chris-kitty/IMG_0625.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /><br />
<img class="alignnone" src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/chris-kitty/IMG_9731.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" /><br />
.<br />
Mais la manœuvre en se limite pas à une marche arrière ( hu hu hu, ça serait trop facile sinon ). Car la barque, si elle sort de son emplacement en reculant et qu&#8217;une fois sortie, elle avance &#8230; bah elle tourne les fesses à la mangeoire et elle entame une remontée de la Loire, vers Nantes ( et prenant soin de rester coincée sous le pont de Saint Nazaire en passant )<br />
Donc il faut faire un demi-tour pour aller vers la Grande Bleue. Et là, c&#8217;est encore le job des remorqueurs ( et du pilote du port, présent à la barre du<em> MSC Fantasia</em> )<br />
C&#8217;est donc parti pour un petit pas de danse !<br />

<img class="alignnone" src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/chris-kitty/IMG_9745.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" /><img class="alignnone" src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/chris-kitty/IMG_9747.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" /><img class="alignnone" src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/chris-kitty/IMG_9749.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" /><img class="alignnone" src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/chris-kitty/IMG_9752.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" /><img class="alignnone" src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/chris-kitty/IMG_9757.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" /><br />
.<br />
Voilà, le plus dur est passé, il y a plus qu&#8217;à se laisser porter vers l&#8217;Océan ( on dirait Némo qui retrouve sa barrière de corail &#8230; ^^ ) toujours tiré par les remorqueurs.<br />
Pour ceux qui se posent la question, dans le fond, les arbres, c&#8217;est Saint Brévin ( ça va rappeler des souvenirs à ma Cocotte <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  )<br />

Petit jeu pour vous divertir un peu ( si je suis pas gentille ! ) : trouvez le phare sur la photo ci-dessous ( attention, il y a des pièges ! )<br />

Ah oui, j&#8217;oubliais de vous dire, mais Zhom a bossé à bord &#8230; Il se souvient pu trop où ni quoi, étant donné qu&#8217;il y a 3 paquebots identiques en construction en même temps et qu&#8217;on s&#8217;y mélange des fois les pinceaux, mais toujours est il qu&#8217;il a été faire son petit tour dessus&#8230; Si y&#8217;a pas des privilégiés hein quand même !</p>

<p><span style="font-size:x-small;">Einzigartiges</span> <span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Rekordverdächtig:</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;">Die MSC Fantasia wird 40 Meter länger sein, als die MSC Musica oder die MSC Orchestra. <strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Der schiefe Turm von Pisa würde der Länge nach sechs mal in das Schiff passen, das 10 Meter länger ist als der Eiffelturm hoch. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;">Die Höhe ist vergleichbar mit der eines 32-stöckigen Gebäudes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;">Gönnen Sie sich eine Luxuskreuzfahrt an Bord dieses traumhaften Schiffes!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;"><br />
Einzigartig ist der exklusive Butler-Service im Bereich  der 99 Suiten des MSC Yacht Clubs. Hier bleiben keine Wünsche offen! <a href="http://www.mscruise.de/Angebote/MSCYachtClub"></a></span></p>
