The term cruise has several meanings, for example it is given by name to the place where streets or roads intersect; on the other hand, in the religious sphere it is attributed to the stone cross that generally abounds in Galicia, Ireland and Britain, characterized by variable dimensions that is placed at the crossroads and in atriums; they usually stand on a platform with steps with a carved Christ. Also in this area , the task of carrying or carrying the cross in front of religious entities such as archbishops in processions and other sacred functions, or the sacristan in charge of carrying the cross in funerals and processions , is called a cruise. ButAt present the most common use of the word cruise is to refer to the pleasure trip by boat or passenger ship, with stops in different ports of the world for tourist visits.
The history of cruise ships begins in 1900, which was when the invention of the first ship or ship with the exclusive purpose of being a cruise ship emerged; called Prinzessin Victoria Luise, in charge of Albert Balling. Although previously there were the famous ocean liners, which transported people from one place to another, an example of them the popular Titanic that sank on its first trip. Time later, these ocean liners were losing popularity with the arrival of airplanes in the 60s and little by little the cruise ships were gaining fame, their greatest boom began in the eighties. Finally another frequent use of the term cruise is given to the warship that has great speed, equipped with strong weapons and with a very wide range of action; today it is the largest ship available in modern navies.
