The 21st century began with a boom of the technology companies, which are also called the start-ups.
We all use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, we all call a taxi through Uber.
Technology has penetrated the cruise industry already long ago.
For example, Bionic Bar on the new ships of Royal Caribbean.

There are also quite a lot of startups connected with tourism. By the way, our CruiseBe and 

Cruise Itinerary Aggregator

 are also the travel startups, and we are only at the beginning of our journey. However, this article is not about us.
We think you all heard about Elon Musk and his Tesla.
Back in 2013, he introduced the Hyperloop project.

We won't go into details. Briefly, this is a device that consists of a capsule and a pipe that uses a linear electric motor for acceleration and magnetic motors for a slowdown. In this case, the capsule will fly at a speed of 620 mph (1,000 km/h) and without turbulence!
You can find more information on the Internet.

You may ask, what does this hyperloop have to do with cruises and why am I reading it? We have an answer.
Recently, the tests were completed in Nevada. They proposed the first eleven routes, which could appear in the United States in the next decade.
One of them will be a route built for cruise lovers. It will connect

Orlando

and

Miami

!
That is, you'll get an opportunity to have fun in the parks...


... and then overcome almost 260 mi in less than 25 minutes, arrive at a port and depart on a cruise!


Or vice versa! Imagine that after coming in Miami, you can get to Orlando just in half an hour. It can considerably change the situation on the market.
Moreover, it can hit Port Canaveral. After all, now it's almost impossible to get from Orlando to Port Canaveral in less than 40 minutes!
A logical question may arise: "Why should I go to Port Canaveral when I can go to Miami?".


In any case, this is a fascinating proposal!

Would you use Hyperloop One?

We can not help describing all the routes, although many of them refer to cruises very superficially:
Boston - Somerset-Providence (64 mi)
LA - San Diego (120 mi)
Seattle - Portland (175 mi)
Kansas City - St. Louis (240 mi)
Colorado Front (242 mi)
Miami - Orlando (257 mi)
Colorado Front / Rocky Mountain (360 mi)
Reno - Las Vegas (450 mi)
Chicago - Pittsburgh (488 mi)
Texas Triangle (Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio) - (640 mi)
Cheyenne - Houston (1150 mi)

By the way, you can use many of them for cruises!
For example:
LA - San Diego - one can use it for cruises to Hawaii, Mexico, and the Panama Canal.
Seattle - Portland - for cruises to Alaska.
Texas Triangle & Cheyenne - Houston - why don't you use it to get in Galveston?

What do you think about this technology? Does it have a future?
