First time cruisers, do you have questions about cruising, planning or booking a cruise? Then you’re in the right place. This beginner’s guide to cruising will introduce you to what makes cruising such a unique and memorable way to travel, where you can go, what the rooms are like, what you can do onboard, and how to get started planning.

Why Cruise?

Cruising is an easy, convenient way to travel! As a new cruiser the convenience can’t be topped. Cruises explore every region of the world! Unpack once and experience the best of the region you are visiting in one cruise vacation. There is nothing easier than simply waking up in the morning in the world’s most exciting and interesting cities. For example, on a 12-day British Isles voyage you will visit 10 ports of call including Paris, Dublin, Glasgow, Edinburgh and more. On a 7-day Caribbean cruise you can stop and see some of the most amazing islands such as the Cayman islands, Jamaica, St. Maarten and more!

Unbeatable Value

Cruising is unbeatable for value. Your cruise fare includes accommodations, dinin, entertainment and an endless array of activities. Plus, you won’t have to pay for costly airfare, trains, or motorcoaches to get you from one city to the next.

Warm, welcoming service. You’ll be right at home without a care in the world. From sun-up to late into the night, we are there to anticipate your every need. And by the voyage’s end, our crew will feel just like family.

Did I mention the refreshing sea air? Sea days can be as relaxing or active as you wish. There is nothing comparable to being out on the open sea with warm ocean breezes.

What is there to do on board?

Cruising offers something for everyone from new cruisers to those more experienced, the very young to the young at heart. It’s great for groups, celebrations, and meeting new people.

 

The choices are endless, from invigorating activities to more relaxing pursuits. With your daily planner, you will discover an incredible array of options that make each day a delightful new adventure.

 

Cruise lines offer traditional onboard activities like culinary demonstrations, bingo, wine tasting and spa services as well as presentations where you learn about the culture, top sites of the ports you will be visiting, plus live entertainment.

During the evening you can enjoy an array of entertainment from broadway style shows, comedy club entertainers, jazz music, piano bar, the night club for dancing or a deck party around the pool.  There is always something for everyone.

 

Eating is a big part of life on a cruise ship!  Whether you feel like a multi-course meal in a formal dining room or hand-tossed Naples-style pizza by the pool, cruise lines obliges your every mood. From elegant specialty restaurants to themed buffets on deck, the variety of venues and dining options is certain to satisfy no matter the time of day.
