Viking Line Cinderella Party Ship
It’s official - this year’s bucket list is out! We’ve put together a list of the top 10 cool things to do in 2011, some not for the faint hearted we might add!
Tick all these things off of your list by the end of this year and we reckon your cool factor will be off the Richter scale.
Party with Vikings on board the Viking Line Party Ship
A hot destination on the map for 2011 is one of the sexiest, hardest partying cities in Europe Stockholm.
And one of the most popular party destinations in Stockholm is the Viking Line Party Ship where the Swedes are teaching the British how to really party.
The Viking Line Party Ship sleeps 2,500 people all on board to party like there’s no tomorrow. Setting sail from trendy Stockholm, it’s a 22-hour floating party through the Baltic Archipelago.
Take advantage of the five bars, pubs and clubs on board and if you’re feeling lucky, have a spin on the roulette wheel at the casino. And if you’re in need of a little post party rejuvenation a visit to the Swedish spa is a must.
With prices starting from £99 the trip includes a night on board the party ship with an en-suite cabin, an all-you-can-eat-and-drink (including beer and wine) Smörgåsbord buffet on party night and a sea breakfast before the ship docks the following day viking-line.co.uk
Fly high but not in the sky
If you’re seeking a thrill but you can’t quite beat the fear of sky diving the regular way, indoor sky diving is the experience for you.
Donning the obligatory get-up of a jump suit, goggles and helmet (with added cuddly toy attached should you wish!), you’ll experience the free-falling feeling safe in the confines of a 37ft wind tunnel.
Imagine a wind tunnel that could be used for testing the aerodynamics of an F1 racing car, turn it upright, gently lean into the airflow and you are skydiving.
Whether you’re a pro or a beginner there is something for everyone from aged four and upwards.
For first time flyers prices start at £29.99.
Fall head over heels for Zorbing
Ever wondered what it’s like for a hamster inside its ball? With Zorbing the wonder can become a reality. This really is an adrenaline junkie experience and if you’ve got a friend that loves a good dare - this is for them!
Zorbing has been around for a while but the simple rolling down a hill is now old news and the latest in Zorbing or Sphereing as it is also known is aqua Sphereing - like regular Zorbing but with no harness and water thrown in for good measure!
And if you’ve really got an appetite for the truly petrifying try Eclipse Zorbing, a sphere that’s completely pitch dark. Even though you can't see, you'll certainly feel where you're going as you bump, roll and rotate your way down the specially built course.
Prices start from £25.00 per person
