Sounds cool, but a submarine cruise would be so much cooler.

If you go to the top floor and jump off the rail, yeah.

You could have your partner pressed up against the glass as the ocean of clouds roll by.

I bet some of you guys have already heard of the "Aircruise", which is a concept airship that is able to travel long distances. And it would be the most beautiful, luxurious trip you would ever be on.
Here is a quote explaining the "use" of it
Now as you probably figured out, this thing isn't really fast ( about 90 hours from Los Angeles to Shanghai). So it would be like going on a cruise ship, but instead being thousands of feet above ground.
Now we probably don't have the technology needed to build one of these yet, but when it's built it is said that it will be very eco-friendly.
Now for the more interesting part, [B]Pictures[/B].

This is what the "docking bay" would look like.

And yes, it is in the water aswell.

More concept art.
What should also be noted is that there wouldn't be many travellers on one of these things. Because of the weight. So for the people going on one of these would probably go for the amazing experience.

The floor would have see-through glass.

Here you can see kinda how big it would be.
Here is a video (animation) showing pretty much the whole Aircruise.

Now, I wouldn't expect seeing one of these in the air in a long time. But who knows, our technology is getting better and better every day. So maybe in a couple of decades, if you have the money, you could go on a trip you would never forget. I myself would definitely pay to go on one of these.
Also, if I did any misspellings please tell me.[/QUOTE]

Fuck that, space hotels look and sound way better.
This is almost better than going into space.
Almost.
Gotta get a ride on one of those.
I want to see a fleet of those burning.
If you combined about 100 of these together, you could make a makeshift hi-tech Columbia. (the steampunk sky city from Bioshock Infinite). Or you could just fuse a lot of them to an aircraft carrier to make a flying aircraft carrier...
Take this thing over some poor ass country and they'll praise you as alien gods.
It's so crazy it might just work.
[sp]I want space hotels instead, fucking in space sounds fun.[/sp]
[QUOTE=samframpton;26320016]And what if it catches fire? Everyones fucked.[/QUOTE]
Grab a a parachute, say your prayers, make peace with your maker if you believe in him and sing a song.
And make it good cause it could be your last.
But not too good cause nobody will here it so it'll be a waste of time.
I can imagine smaller versions for crazy billionaires.
