Of places I would want to take a cruise, Titan (the largest of Saturn's moons) would probably not* be at the top of my list.

As if landing a probe on one of Saturn's moons wasn't amazing enough, now we find out the tiny Huygens craft sent back the first pictures of an extraterrestrial liquid ever taken. After Huygens was launched from its mother...
