Is cruising affordable and a good vacation value?Yes! There are cruise vacations to suit every budget, from the cost-conscious to the most luxurious. Even more important, a cruise offers the best travel value for your money. Your fare includes all meals, your cabin, onboard daytime activities, nighttime parties and entertainment. So for once, you'll know what your vacation will end up costing you before you go. (Your only extra expenses will be drinks, optional shore excursions, gratuities and personal services such as massage or hairstyling.) Back to Top
What should I expect if this is my first cruise ... ?Lucky you! If you've never taken a cruise vacation before, you will probably be hooked after your first cruise. Cruise vacations are nearly all inclusive vacations that include food, entertainment and travel to exotic places. You can add special tours and entertainment to your shore excursions to enjoy even more while at port. While on board, there are so many entertainment opportunities offered, you may find it difficult to choose. Or, you can always just enjoy the sunshine on the deck and read a book. The possibilities are endless! If this is your first cruise, we'll provide all the details to make this an enjoyable experience. Check out our "Cruise Planning" Guide too. Back to Top
When is the best time to take a cruise vacation ... ?Any time! You can cruise to many different locations and you'll always find an option that offers great weather, exciting ports and fabulous ships. The Caribbean is fantastic year round; however, some of the more exotic destinations are seasonal. For example, you can only cruise to Alaska between May and September; to Europe between April and November; to Bermuda, between April and October; the Panama Canal, between September and April.

What is there to do? Will I get bored....?Hardly. Being at sea gives you a feeling of freedom few places can offer. There's plenty of room. And it'll probably take you two or three days just to discover what's onboard. Plus, you get the added adventure of exploring new and exciting ports of call, ports with all the things fine resorts have to offer. You can be by yourself and lie back in a lounge chair, breathe in the sea air, soak up the sun, read good books, or watch the ever-changing view. Or, you can join in exercise classes, dance classes, sports contests and other organized deck activities. Perhaps you can practice your tennis stroke or golf swing, or shoot some baskets. You can go for a swim, stretch out in the sauna or work out in the gym. You can see a feature movie, attend a lecture by renowned experts, play backgammon or bridge. And that's just when you're onboard!
How long are cruises?As long or short as you want. There are cruise lines that offer itineraries from three days to three months. Whatever your schedule, we'll do our best to find the cruise for you.
Are all ships and cruises fairly similar?Far from it. Ships range from under 200 feet to well over 1,000 feet. You can sail with anywhere from fewer than 100 fellow passengers to over 3,000. Experience atmospheres ranging from casual to formal, classically simple to ultra-deluxe. You can even choose between traditional propeller-driven craft, sail-assisted cruise ships, or even a paddle-wheel river boat.
Where can I go?Where do you want to go? Cruises visit practically any destination accessible by water -- the Caribbean, Bahamas, Alaska, Bermuda, Europe, Hawaii, the Greek Isles, the Orient, Australia, Tahiti, the Galapagos Islands, South America, India, the Panama Canal and more. If you can name it, we can probably get you there by ship.
