Cruise Destinations
Caribbean
More ships cruise the Caribbean islands than any other region in the world, and Caribbean cruises treat vacationers to crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, abundant water sports and duty-free shopping. Caribbean cruises are divided into three regions: Western Caribbean cruises, Southern Caribbean cruises and Eastern Caribbean cruises. Western Caribbean cruises can take you to see Mayan ruins on Mexico's Yucatan coast, snorkeling in the barrier reef off the coast of Belize or to Grand Cayman's Seven Mile Beach. Southern Caribbean cruises can take you to the beautiful beaches of Aruba, the rain forest of Martinique or the beautiful beaches of Barbados. Eastern Caribbean cruises may call on ports in the Bahamas, San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Turks and Caicos
Mexico & Panama
Cruises to Mexico and Central America are among the
most affordable in the market and may visit ports in the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez or in the Caribbean Sea. Explore cities in destinations such as the Mexican Riviera, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, as well as in the Yucatan region of Mexico, Belize, Honduras and Guatemala. Primarily departing from California, cruises on the Pacific side of this region usually find drier weather and more mountainous terrain onshore. Fishing, horseback riding on the beach, parasailing and many other sports abound. Or, opt for a Mexico/Central America cruise that departs from Florida or Gulf Coast ports like Galveston or New Orleans. You'll find a more humid climate, lush vegetation and warm, crystal-clear waters for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving. A wide range of excursions are offered in this area, from scuba diving and snorkeling in Roatan to zip-lining in the jungle of Belize to hiking in Costa Rica's amazing national parks. Tours of ancient Mayan ruins at Uxmal, Chichen Itza and Tulum are also popular, and some Mexico/Central America cruises make stops near, or traverse, the Panama Canal.
Exotic
The amazing places on Exotic itineraries defy easy description, each beckoning with its own distinct qualities. You have the opportunity to Island hop across the South Pacific, or come face-to-face with some of the world's strangest forms of wildlife in the Galapagos Islands. You may experience tropical tranquility or the extremes of Antarctica. While each port is unique, they are all places we have come to know well and yearn to share.
Alaska
Alaska cruises have surged in popularity in recent
years, and demand to see America's last unspoiled frontier continues to grow. If you decide to cruise Alaska you can see snowcapped peaks, mighty glaciers, steep fjords and such wildlife as whales, black bears, brown bears, bald eagles, sea otters and seals. You'll also find historic gold rush towns, Native American art and culture, Russian heritage and plenty of outdoor adventure. Because of this region's popularity and short season, the per-diem prices for Alaska cruises are among the highest in the cruise industry. Alaska cruises are generally divided into two types, Inside Passage cruises and Gulf of Alaska cruises. The Inside Passage has been the traditional way to cruise Alaska, with most ships sailing round-trip from Vancouver or Seattle, through glacier country as far north as Skagway or Juneau. Gulf of Alaska cruises cover more territory as they travel from Vancouver through the Inside Passage and up to Seward/Anchorage (or the reverse). Airfare for a Gulf of Alaska cruise is generally more expensive because Anchorage is so far north.
Europe & Mediterranean
European cruise tours combine a Northern Europe or Mediterranean cruise with sightseeing on land, offering a more in-depth look at some of the world's most famous cities. Your Europe cruise tour will take you to the sparkling Mediterranean or enchanting Scandinavia with a land tour by train and motor coach, including stays in hotels convenient to top sights and attractions. London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Florence, Rome, Venice and Stockholm are just a few of the options for overnight stays on a Europe cruise tour.
River Cruises
River cruising is, quite simply, the best way to travel through many of the world’s most fascinating places. Comfortable and convenient, it offers a greater variety of destinations than you could encounter any other way—and lets you get in-depth exposure to the culture and history of each region. Both experienced and first-time travelers have discovered the joys of river cruising, making it the fastest-growing segment of the travel industry.
Disney
The magic of Disney World and the allure of Disney Bahamas cruises are combined in unique one-week vacations that are perfect for families year-round. After three nights at Disney World, cruise to the Bahamas for four nights, or stay four nights at Disney World and spend three nights on a Disney Bahamas cruise -- either way, you're headed for a fun-filled, weeklong vacation. Disney cruises depart from Port Canaveral and sail to the Bahamas, where you'll find pretty beaches, good snorkeling and opportunities for water-skiing, parasailing, jet-skiing and windsurfing. Prices for Disney World include unlimited admission (except for events separately priced) to all four Disney World theme parks, including Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Animal Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios. For vacations that begin prior to January 1, 2006, prices also include your choice of three admissions to the Disney World water parks, Pleasure Island, DisneyQuest Interactive park or the Wild World of Sports complex. While meals are included aboard Disney Bahamas cruise ships, they must be purchased separately during your hotel stay.
