阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Ferries(渡船)have clear advantages over cruises: you don’t keep bumping into the same people, and they are more environmentally sustainable. Plus, a passage on a Greek ferry costs just a tiny part of the price of a cruise voyage.
Some trips are economical: Piraeus to Rhodes takes 15 hours, but costs only £58 one-way. It pays to familiarize yourself with Greece using a good map and then start planning with a ferry booking site such as greekferries.gr, ferryhopper.com or UK-based directferries.com. You will see all the main tour operators(公司)and be offered fast boats which compete with traditional, slow-paced ferries; the former and sometimes sealed like aeroplanes, while the latter allow deck walks and views.
