Every day, more and more people are discovering the value packed pleasures of a cruise vacation. More singles, families, couples, honeymooners and groups of friends are cruising. Last year alone approximately 20.4 million passengers globally enjoyed a cruise vacation.
A cruise includes all of your meals, accommodation, activities, entertainment; plus, an exciting voyage to popular and culturally-enriching destinations all around the world. Cruising creates a comfortable environment. You can relax, be completely pampered or go non-stop. Enjoy one great show after another. Let your cares float away!
It's no wonder that more people are taking cruise vacations than ever before. And once you get a taste of cruising, you too may come back for more, again and again.
Ships range from intimate barge and yacht-like vessels to mega-ships stretching longer than three football fields. You can sail with as few as 12 fellow guests or with upwards of 6,000 passengers.
Barge, Ferry, Yacht / Tall Ship (up to 250), Small Ships (up to 1000), Classic Modern Mid-Large ships (1000 - 4000) and Mega-ships (4000 - 6000+).
Once upon a time there was no such thing as setting sail for pleasure. Ships carried crowds of passengers from one destination to the other until the 1960s, when the wind blew in the industry’s sails and modern cruising as we know it today took form.
In the 1850s and ‘60s, passengers boarded ships for the purpose of getting across the Atlantic.
Cruises visit over 500 ports in 154 countries on all 7 continents. You can embark on your cruise vacation from a wide variety of over 25 American and Canadian ports close to home or exciting and exotic locations around the globe. Along with the perennial favourites: Alaska, Caribbean, Mediterranean and Baltic, there are many "off the beaten track" destinations: Asia, Africa, Amazon, Polar Regions and Transocean cruises.
