Why choose a cruise?
Cruising has become a popular vacation today
because it takes away from the pressures and strains of
contemporary life ashore, and offers a means of escape from
reality. Cruise ships are self-contained floating resorts that
take you to many destinations in the space of just a few days.
Cruising provides a source of adventure, excitement, romance and
wonder. Cruising is hassle free. When you’re onboard, virtually
everything is taken care of. There are no hotel or dinner
reservations to make, no theater tickets to buy, no car rentals
to coordinate. Since cruising is all-inclusive it makes easier
and a convenient way to travel with families with children. It’s
no wonder that 85% of cruisegoers want to go again, and again!

A cruise ship is a floating resort.

and casual dining to suit all tastes, and a variety of formal and
casual dining to suit all tastes. |
Contained Cost / Multiple Destinations
|
Cruising is great value and is
relatively inexpensive compared to most land based vacations. One
price includes: accommodations, meals, entertainment and most
shipboard activities. On a cruise you just have to unpack once
and you will visit a number of fascinating ports of call without
the hassle of packing & using different means of transportation
to see different scenery and places. |
 |
Isn’t cruising mainly for older
people?
|
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Indeed, the average age of cruise passengers becomes younger each
year. Although older passengers have found cruising to be a very
safe way to travel the world, the average age of the first-time
cruiser is now well under 40. But do
remember that older folks can have a lot of fun too! |
 |
Won’t I get bored?
 |
There is a lot to do on a ship. Your
days at seas are filled with onboard activities. And you can do
as much or as little as you please. So whether you want to lie
back and be pampered, or indulge in all the activities, you can
do it on a cruise vacation, and you’ll only have to pack and
unpack once. |
Is cruising for singles?
Yes. A cruise vacation is ideal for
people travelling alone, since it is easier to meet other people
in a non-competitive environment. Some cruiselines offer a
special pricing for single occupancy and often they are able to
find a cabin mate to share with upon request. |
 |
Are cruises for honeymooners?
Cruising is the ideal setting
for romance, intimate dinners for two, strolling the decks at
sunset and dancing the night away under the stars. Many couples
are getting married onboard Ships. There are some cruiselines
that specialize in this and having a Wedding Chapel onboard the
ship that will arrange for receptions. "Sailing the open seas
would be a wonderful way to spend your honeymoon!"
Is cruising a good vacation for children?
|
Cruising provides families with more
quality time than any other type of vacation. Activities on board
are tailored to various age groups. In addition a cruise allows
children to interact in a safe environment and takes them to
destinations in comfortable & familiar surroundings. Your
children may have a difficult time getting off the ship at the
end of the cruise; and parents …you will be able to get quality
time to enjoy. Choosing the right ship that caters to children is
very important.
|
 |
Are there different classes aboard
the ship?
Today the cruise ships are all one class.
However, prices are charged according to the stateroom size and
location.
Aren’t all ships & cruises quite similar?
No! Ships range from
under 200 feet to over 1,000 feet in length. They carry from
under 100 to over 3,000 passengers. Facilities onboard vary from
each ship as well. Some offer more, others less depending on the
size of the ship.
