Worldwide Cruise and Cruise/Tour Vacations

Why Choose an Cruise or Cruise/Tour?

Cruises Continue to Grow in Popularity and Offer Many Advantages

Whether it’s on a BIG ship in the Caribbean or a small ship in Galapagos, a Luxury River Cruise in Europe or a Working Freighter in Norway (yes, you can do that too) cruise vacations offer a diverse array of experiences

Cruises and Cruise/Tours are probably most popular in the Caribbean, Alaska, Mediterranean and Northern Europe but there is a tremendous variety and these days you can literally cruise almost anywhere the waterways will take you! (think Antarctica, Amazon, Dubai, Mississippi River, Egypt, Australia, Panama Canal – you name it!

There is a brand for everyone (did you realize that there are literally dozens and dozens of different brands each specializing in a different experience?) How many can you name? Hundreds of ships sailing hundreds of itineraries – some specializing in cuisine, some in family fun, some in luxury and some are experiential, but all have 1 thing in common – they each want to make your vacation extraordinary!

Popular Mass Market Cruiseline Options

Mass-market cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, MSC & Costa (plus many other brands worldwide) are very popular as “fun in the sun” vacations with terrific entertainment options and a diverse array of options that suite many varying budgets.

You can go “bare-bones” and be well under $1000 per person on a 7 night itinerary – or opt for the premium section in a suite with elevated level of service for well over $5000 per person depending on the itinerary

Mass market cruise ships are often a great solution for multi-generation family & friends trips where budgets vary but everyone can agree on an itinerary and a date

The Hottest Cruising Trend is River Cruising –

So many advantages exist when cruising through the heart of the destination on a small ship

River Cruises put you in the heart of the destination in the most convenient manner possible. It’s like staying in a 5 star luxury boutique hotel in the center of everything, but the center keeps changing on a daily basis visiting multiple destinations in a particular region or on a particular river.

European River cruises have been popular for over a decade, but more and more destinations including Africa & SE Asia have become quite popular as well.

Recently US based river cruises have become more popular and numerous – down the Mississippi, through the Southeast, in the Pacific Northwest or the Inland waterways of the East Coast.
