Romantic, adventurous, educational, and cultural are a few of the types of cruises available to vacationers. A cruise is simply a chance to get away from your everyday routine and relax. The type of cruise that you choose mainly depends on what you enjoy most and which activities you would like to take part in while on the cruise. Your age, health, activity level, marital status, or if this is a family trip are all-important factors that help you decide the best cruise for you.

The following is a list of ten spectacular cruise destinations with a brief description of each. This should provide you with some tips during the planning of your cruise excursion. Read the rest of this entry »

Luxury Cruises: Have you ever cruised into a prime port, spent a hurried day in frantic exploration, and only hours later stood on the ship’s deck as it pulled from the dock — already longing to return to really see the destination?

If your answer is “yes,” as mine invariably is, have you revisited? Perhaps.

But more than likely, not.

Well, no more. I recently discovered Royal Caribbean’s Cruisetours — billed as an addendum “designed to make a vacation for clients a complete vacation.” Offered in conjunction with cruises in Alaska, South America, Asia, Australia/New Zealand and Europe, it’s a pre- or post- multi-day escorted land segment that will immerse you into the land and its lore.

Why not save time and money by combining your wedding with your
honeymoon on a romantic cruise? A wedding that takes place on
your cruise can be a beautiful way to start a journey together
as a couple. However, it’s not quite as easy as it looks in the

captain) to perform a legal ceremony. Not all captains have the
legal right to marry couples, so check this ahead of time if

If eating fine food is your pleasure, a cruise vacation and dining at sea is for you!
If you get up early enough, go to bed late enough and catch the elevators on your ship just right – you can eat up to 13 times a day on board. And that does not count 24 hour complementary room service.
Fine cuisine and five star dining has always been a part of the cruise experience. On board, you’ll be treated to more options than ever before. As soon as one serving is ending, somewhere on the ship another is beginning.
Today the on board dining experience rivals almost any land based restaurant. Celebrity Cruise Lines cuisine, for example, is acclaimed by food experts, travel authorities and the most discriminating connoisseurs of all, their passengers.
Whether the succulent, broiled lobster tails and coquilles Saint Jacques served on the finest china or fresh pastas and omelets “made to order” from the buffet, an array of exotic dishes and familiar favorites are yours to enjoy. Read the rest of this entry »
