AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Travel agent: Good morning, how can I help?
Tourist: Good morning, I’m planning a short vacation, and I’m thinking about a cruise. What would you suggest?
Travel agent: That sounds great. How many days do you have for your vacation?
Tourist: About five days. I don’t want anything too long.
Travel agent: In that case, you could consider a small cruise ship along the coast, which is very popular for short trips. If you prefer something more private, you might also like a charter yacht.
Tourist: And what is included on board?
Travel agent: The crew will take care of the passengers. The captain is responsible for the ship, together with the first officer, and the stewards help guests with food and service.
Tourist: What about the rooms?
Travel agent: You’ll stay in comfortable cabins with a private bathroom.
Tourist: Is there a place to relax during the trip?
Travel agent: Yes, you can spend time on the deck, where you can enjoy the sea view.
Tourist: And at the end of the trip?
Travel agent: You will disembark at the final port. You should arrive at the seaport at least one hour early, and you must bring your passport to embark.
