Experience 60 of the world's greatest adventures on water - from sailing the Nile by felucca and cruising the Canadian Arctic, to exploring Pitcairn Island by cargo ship. With detailed accounts of each route, beautiful photos and practical tips on how to plan your own voyage, Amazing Boat Journeys will help you discover a more rewarding way of travelling. From the seafaring Polynesians to the Chinese Age of Discovery, travel by water shaped the world.

That same spirit of exploration compels Lonely Planet writers today to travel by cargo freighter and fishing vessel to the world's most remote islands; to hop onto mailboats in the Bahamas; or to experience life on a historic sail-powered windjammer. These journeys are eclectic and wide-ranging, from the wonder of a glass-bottomed boat ride through Florida springs to the ease of a thatch-roofed kettuvallam exploring Kerala's famed backwaters. Old-fashioned paddle-steamers ply the length of the Mississippi in the style of the 1800s, and cruise ships on the Yangtze feature enthusiastic karaoke in Mandarin.

Off-the-beaten-path cruises include Antarctica and Papua New Guinea. On the opposite end of the spectrum from a weeks-long journey over open seas is the charm of seeing a city from the water, whether crossing Victoria Harbour via Hong Kong's classic Star Ferry, viewing the banks of London from the Thames, or traversing Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River. Each trip includes authoritative commentary, awe-inspiring photography, and details of life on board the vessel, similar routes, and how to make the trip happen.

Each of the 60 excursions provides a handy route map, stunning images and photography, infographics showing key stops, and an expertly written description of the journey that lies ahead.

Planlegger du togferie?

Ferie med tog gir deg en super innføring i hvordan du enkelt kan velge tog som fremkomstmiddel til din neste ferie. Planlegger du din neste ferietur langs togskinner i Norge, Norden eller i resten av Europa?

Da er Ferie med tog - Reiseglede langs skinnene boka for deg! Boka er full av praktiske tips og inspirerende turforslag og er skrevet av Sigrid Elsrud som står bak den populære togbloggen.no.

Finn et nytt sted, og gi det en sjanse! Ofte kan en tilfeldig valgt prikk på kartet vise seg å være en perle, men vi må ta oss tid til å gå av toget for å oppleve den, er Elsruds oppfordring.

Å bruke tog som fremkomstmiddel på ferieturen er mer populært enn noen gang før. Ikke først og fremst på grunn av tung markedsføring eller politiske vedtak. Snarere tvert imot. Trenden har kommet nedenfra, fra folk som selv har brettet ut kartet, funnet reiseruter langs bakken – og som gjør det igjen og igjen.

I vår felles norske bevissthet har nok lange togreiser fortsatt liten plass. Kanskje fordi feriereiser med tog krever litt mer planlegging på forhånd? Feriereiser med tog er ikke alltid så tilrettelagt som andre reiser og ferieformer. Når reisene ikke ligger som ferdige tilbud foran oss, kan det være lett å glemme at de finnes. Mange tenker ofte på kronglete billettsystemer og dårlig togtilbud mellom Norge og resten av Europa som de største barrierene for en togferie

Men det krever ikke så mye som mange kanskje tror.
Og med den nye boken til Sigrid Elsrud får du super hjelp på veien mot din neste ferie på skinnene.

Elsrud gir blant annet en rekke konkrete og spennende tips til enkle togferier og gode reiseruter, hun forteller om bra nettsider og gode reisebyrå, hun lærer deg å finne frem på europakartet selv, gir nyttige råd for alt fra bagasje til togbilletter i Europa og lærer deg hvordan du kan bli kjent med verktøy og tjenester som kan hjelpe på reisen.

I Ferie med tog finner du veldig mye nyttig innhold når du skal planlegge togferie, blant annet disse kapitlene:

• Råd om bagasjen 
• Tre enkle togferier
• Fem gode råd for nybegynneren
• Interrail - eller ikke interrail?
• Finland – på skinner mellom tusen sjøer
• Mjøsa – en ferieperle i Innlandet
• Ljubljana – den perfekte byen for en togferie
• Milano – mellom Alpene og Middelhavet
• Spania – togreisen gir oss Europa med på kjøpet
