There
is a reason why Cruising is the most popular way to vacation. Cruising
not only is one of the most rapidly growing travel segments, it also
boasts one of the highest consumer satisfactions. The reason why? A
Cruise Vacation is one of the greatest travel values available.
In
addition to the ability to see and sample a variety of destinations
worldwide, cruisers can enjoy a relaxing vacation on a floating resort
with fine dining, attentive service, state-of-the art entertainment,
and a full slate of amenities and activities included in the price.
If
you have never been on a cruise before, email me and I will send you
out a packet of valuable information designed for "first-time
cruisers". Every cruise line has their "specialty". Whether you are a
young single, traveling with your family, or looking for Romance, I can
recommend the right cruise line for you.
TOP TEN REASONS TO CRUISE
1. Value -
Nothing beats a cruise for incredible vacation savings – you'll visit
multiple destinations and so much is included, from dining to
entertainment, that you may be tempted to make every vacation a cruise.
2. Convenience
- Set sail from 23 close-to-home U.S. ports, and no matter how many
places you visit, you'll only unpack once. And while onboard, wallets
and purses aren't required!
3. Variety
- Thousands of itineraries to hundreds of ports across all six
continents. And there are endless activities for every taste, onboard
and ashore.
4. Choice
- Dine in shorts or dress to the nines – today's cruising can be as
casual or luxurious as you like. Choose an action-packed adventure or a
poolside retreat – it's your cruise, it's your choice!
5. Comfort
- More oceanview and balcony staterooms, more luxurious bedding, and
expanded spa and sports facilities are just a few of the many ways
today's fleets will pamper you in style.
6. Adventure
- You define what adventure means to you, we'll help find the perfect
cruise to make it a reality. Ice climbing in Alaska, surfing in Hawaii,
exploring unique wildlife in the Galapagos, finding the very best
Caribbean beach – you name it, we've got it!
7. Sharing your experiences
- Cruising offers unique opportunities to meet other travelers – and
you'll share new experiences that you won't find with other types of
vacations. With plenty of fun group activities, get ready to create
unforgettable memories and make friendships that last a lifetime.
8. Become an expert
– or meet one: Many cruise lines offer special onboard enrichment
programs that immerse you in the things you love most – poetry and
prose, fine wine, regional cooking, antiques, wildlife, and music are
just a few of the many choices.
9. Experience more
- Waking up in a brand new port of call is part of the unique thrill of
cruising. And with nearly every new port, you'll have unique
opportunities ashore. Jungle safaris, historic city tours, and dolphin
encounters are just a few of the exciting shore excursions you can add
to your package.
10. Togetherness
- There's no better way to travel for large groups of friends and
family than a cruise. Planning group reservations is more affordable
and convenient at sea. You can pick your staterooms all on the same
deck, dine at the same restaurants onboard, enjoy a Broadway-style show
together, and so much more. And best of all, there's something fun for
everyone. When you travel as a group, the incredible experiences you
share will strengthen the bonds of friendship and family forever.
The Best Value For Your Vacation Dollar
A
cruise offers unmatched variety, convenience, and fun. Plus, it's more
affordable than many land-based vacations. Cruises enable you to visit
multiple locations for one low price, without the hassle of
coordinating travel details. Your vacation begins the moment you step
onboard. And now, many cruises are just a short drive or flight away.
