First of all, we have Alaska. You might think that no one wants to cruise in such a cold country, but you are wrong. Many people prefer to cruise in Alaska, starting from Vancouver all the way down to Icy Straight Point, Tracy Arm Fjord, Skagway, Juneau and back to Vancouver in a period of seven days. You will be able to make foot trips to the cities where the ship is docked for a few hours before continuing the journey.
Then we have Australia in the list. This country down under is so popular all the time and the cruise makes its way from Sydney all the way to Melbourne, Burnie, Port Arthur and Hobart before heading back to Sydney. In Australia, you get to experience a totally different culture and learn the special Australian slang when you communicate with the locals. Of course this is not the only route available. In fact, you can choose different packages with different routes.
Bermuda is another popular location for cruising. You might have heard about missing ships in the Bermuda Triangle, but worry not when you choose the Bermuda cruise because you will be cruising from Norfolk or Baltimore to Kings Wharf and vice versa in five days. There will be no missing ships, and you can enjoy your cruise holiday just like any other cruise. Royal Caribbean International ensures the safety of all passengers on board.
Caribbean is not only popular for its beaches but also for cruising along Fort Lauderdale down to Belize City and back up to Costa Maya and Cozumel before reaching Fort Lauderdale again in seven days. I am sure this is perfect for those who are looking forward to having a sunny and warm holiday. However, you can also choose to have an eight-day cruise from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Aruba, Curacao, St. Maarten and St.Thomas.
Do not forget Europe as one of the top destinations. There are many cruises in Europe, and one of them starts at Italy going all the way to Croatia and Greece. There are also more pit stops on European cruises, so you get to go on shore to shop and experience the local cultures. Take photos as souvenirs and shop for local specialties before heading back to the ship on time for departure to another great city.
Panama Canal is definitely a must go cruise, that offers a ten-day cruise from Miami making its way to Haiti, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Grand Cayman. A longer cruise definitely means more excitement and experiences. Enjoy a nice, quiet holiday on board while having fun on shore. There is nothing more exciting than a cruise holiday with Royal Caribbean International.

If you think about it, it’s an extremely cost-effective and time-efficient way to take a holiday. Consider all the time you’d spend driving yourself to several different destinations, packing and unpacking at each hotel, and searching for restaurants and other services.
On a cruise you don’t drive anywhere for seven, ten, fourteen days or even even more. Even if you were on a bus tour with no driving yourself, you haul your luggage or at least one package and unpack it at every new stop.
On a cruise, you check your luggage when you check in and it magically appears in your cabin, stateroom, or even suite.
You’re at home for the duration of the cruise. And the food! Every ship has several restuarants staffed by world-class chefs, and the cost of the food is included as part of the cruise. At each port, guided tours are available so you won’t miss any local attractions.
Supervised activities such as snorkeling are available to keep the children occupied. And at the end of your holidy staff will pick up your luggage and place it on shore at the intended pick-up point. Taking a cruise vacation frees you from so many of the hassles of traveling, and leaves you with more time to relax and enjoy your destination.
Celebrity Cruise Lines offer some of the best deals in the business. Conde Nast Traveler consistently rates Celebrity Cruises as one of the world’s best cruise lines. Services include informative lectures about your location, upscale boutiques, and Las Vegas style entertainment created for Celebrity by Cirque du Soleil. Try your luck in the Casino or collect fine art during an onboad auction.
The nightlife spectacular at The Bar At The Edge of the Earth. There’s a whole world of pampering waiting for you at the world-famous Aqua-Spa by Elemis.
Try a deluxe manicure, a luxurious facial or a relaxing massage. There is even acupuncture by a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese medicine as well. You’ll feel renewed and invigorated.
Children feel right at home on a Celebrity Cruise. The Celebrity X-Club Youth Program has age-specific activities and entertainment for every child.
Science and nature exploration, talent shows, treasure hunts, children’s dinner parties, slumber parties and more are all arranged by professional staff.
Special areas of the ship are set aside for children only, such as the Shipmates Fun Factory, teen center and pools. When the ship is docked, adults have the option of going on tours by themselves while the children are supervised onboard.
What could be more enjoyable or safer? Age or disability are no impediment to cruising. Ships are designed for mobility-impaired passengers, and staff is always ready to assist.
Celebrity accommodates those who need dialysis or oxygen, and other medical services can be arranged if requested beforehand. Emergency care is always available on board, saving you the trouble of finding a doctor who speaks your language in a foreign country.
Dinner is a vital event in itself on a cruise ship, a tradition dating back to the late 1800’s when cruises were for royalty and the wealthy who expected elegant formal dinners.
Again, in today’s lifestyle the elegant dinner is optional, and for those who like to dine casually, food is available around the clock . However, for those who like a ritzy event where they can show off their best attire and jewelry, there are optional formal dinners where ladies wear long formal gowns or evening dresses and gentlemen have on tuxedos.
Did I forget to mention the cruise destination itself? Celebrity Cruises dock at a different port of call every day or two, depending upon distances and sailing time between points of interest. You can stay aboard the ship all day or disembark.
You are free to explore every destination on your itinerary as long as you return to the ship before departure time.
For a small additional fee, Celebrity offers adventures geared toward the unique features of each destination. As an example, Caribbean cruises offer snorkeling, diving or beach excursions while Alaskan cruises offer helicopter tours or sea kayak trips.
For the less adventuresome, commonly there are bus tours or even supervised shopping excursions in the local port. Every single thing, including meals, is prearranged.
All you have to do is find the correct line onshore and an experienced guide handles the rest of your tour.
With all these wonderful services available at a reasonable cost, why not consider a Cruise vacation?
