Chile: The Patagonian fjords This epic ferry ride spans 800 miles over four days, treating passengers to views of isolated estuaries and gulfs, massive ice fields and fjords slashed into the Andes. The boat even approaches the dramatic face of Pío XI or Brüggen Glacier, which, at 488sqm, is the largest glacier in South America.

Australia: Between Sydney and Manly Within 30 minutes, the ferry breezes past Sydney's blockbuster sights — the Sydney Opera House, Harbour "Coathanger" Bridge and downtown skyscrapers — and greener ones, too. You'll see botanical gardens, tiny islands with Victorian homes and cottages, innumerable coves, little bays, hidden beaches and imposing brown sandstone cliffs topped with native gum trees. With a little luck, a bottlenose dolphin or southern right whale might pop up nearby.

The super yacht that comes with its own VOLCANO: Multi-million pound boat which is a paradise island By Daily Mail Reporter This is the next super-yacht set to hit the world's oceans - which comes complete with its own functioning volcano and floating tropical islands. The vessel - dubbed the 'Tropical island Paradise' - has been designed by British boat builders Yacht Island Design, from Derby, Derbys - some 90 miles from the sea. The extravagant 295ft ship boasts a towering volcano with a cascading waterfall which feeds the swimming pool. Luxury: This yacht will soon be cruising the oceans with its very own floating tropical islands And playboys will feel right at home with the ships helicopter landing pad and huge bar set behind a series of beach cabanas. Studio director Rob McPherson at the Derbyshire firm, who have also created the Streets of Monaco super-yacht, said: 'The exterior was designed to give the impression of waves breaking around a volcanic island, whilst maintaining the look of a contemporary yacht design. 'It comes with its own private beach cove and a waterfall cascading down from a volcano. 'This design centres around a secluded island paradise, with elements inspired by the islands of the Caribbean, Indian Ocean and Polynesia. It is set to be a big hit when it comes onto the market.' The lavish yacht can accommodate up to 10 guests - and can travel along at a top speed of 15 knots. The main deck is a secluded beach 'cove' of cabanas surrounding a massive ocean view swimming pool. Spectacular: There is also a huge helicopter landing pad for those quick trips to shore And should the millionaire future owners get tired of taking a dip in the pool, they can sail out into the sea on their very own floating island complete with deck chairs and palm trees. McPherson added: 'We had two reasons for designing such a boat. The first being that it's good fun, and secondly the current market is pretty saturated with designs that look fairly similar. 'Our mission is to work on incredibly fun designs and carve a niche for ourselves within the market, a place where other designers fear to tread.' Inside the huge, towering volcano is a cinema, library, games room, gym, spa and VIP suites - including an owners pad spread over two decks. The boat - which has yet to hit the market and hasn't had a price set - is causing waves in the boat building world with its unique design.

Rust in peace: Stunning shipwrecks captured on camera around the world By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 4:22 PM on 15th February 2011 An intrepid British photographer has travelled the world snapping pictures of the bizarre things lying on the sea bed. Diving enthusiast Alex Mustard, 36, has made many strange discoveries while exploring beneath the water's surface. His pictures, taken while investigating the insides of eerie shipwrecks, include barnacle-covered motorbikes once meant for British troops in World War Two. A diver approaches the bow of the Kittiwake, a US military ship purposely sunk off the Cayman Islands this year for divers to explore The diver grabs the wheel of the Kittiwake which will quickly become covered with marine life Rusty British trucks also lie forgotten in their watery graves along with rifles that have never been used, and one extraordinary photo even shows the shell of the iconic VW Beetle car. Alex, from Southampton, Hampshire, said: 'Wrecks attract divers because of the incongruity of seeing something from above the waves beneath them. 'The VW Beetle was purposely sunk for divers and it's particularly bizarre - it's the last thing you would expect to sea underwater. One of the motorbikes found inside the hold of HMS Thistlegorm, which was sunk in the Red Sea by German bombers in 1941. The bikes were bound for British troops The shell of a VW beetle that was purposely sunk in Capernwray Quarry in Lancashire as an attraction to divers A school of horse-eye jacks swims past the wreck of US Kittiwake in the Cayman Islands 'I find it fascinating seeing something familiar in an alien place - underwater. 'I couldn't say how many wrecks I've seen but each is interesting in its own way. Each is unique, the features differ on every wreck and the atmosphere varies too.' One particularly fascinating wreck for Alex is the HMS Thislegorm - a British cargo ship that was carrying military supplies when it was sunk by a German bomber in the Red Sea in 1941. A diver is pictured through a porthole closing in on the wreck of the massive Greek freighter Giannis D which foundered on the Red Sea reef of Abu Nuhas in 1983 A pair of divers explore the 100-metre long cargo ship Giannis D, one of the biggest wrecks to be found in the Red Sea Alex said: 'This wreck is still packed with trucks, bikes and rifles. 'War wrecks are always the most sombre, I find they are not only museums but also memorials. 'And I always have mixed feeling of excitement and sadness when exploring them. It is an intense experience on so many levels.'
