 Does
the lure of the open water hold some mysterious
attraction over you? How about having a wide variety
of activities at your fingertips? And how else
can you so easily visit multiple destinations
without repeatedly packing and re-packing? Simple,
on a cruise, where the resort moves with you!
Cruising
can offer a unique honeymoon experience - in
fact one in ten couples takes a cruise as some
part of their honeymoon. Cruises come in many
shapes and sizes, from 3000 passenger megaships
motoring through the Mediterranean to intimate
luxury barges cruising the Danube River. To
many, cruises offer the best
of both worlds - a wealth of activities, great
food, entertainment and interesting shore excursions
that provide an opportunity to see
new places and experience new cultures.
Four
popular cruise destinations explained
Tahiti
and the Society Islands are a natural option
for cruising. There are many islands, including
Bora Bora, Moorea and Tahiti itself that a cruise
can cover more efficiently than flying to each.
By cruising through the islands, you get to experience
many of their unique attributes and activities,
just as you would had you stayed at multiple resorts.Cruising
through this group of islands is also a special
way to view the natural scenery and sunsets.
The
Caribbean is a very popular cruise destination,
and cruises tend to range from 3 to 14 days.
Often they are segmented by general region:
the Western Caribbean (Mexico, Cayman Islands
and others) and the Eastern Caribbean (Bahamas,
Jamaica, Virgin Islands, St. Lucia, Barbados,
and others). From North America, many cruises
depart from Florida or Puerto Rico, making them
very easy to access.
Southeast
Asia offers an interesting juxtaposition
of the modern world with the ancient. You can
see major cities such as Singapore and Hong
Kong, yet still stop in Vietnam and ride a bicycle
through the streets. A Southeast Asian cruise
offers a wonderful exposure
to a variety of exotic cultures, allowing you
to compare and
contrast the many differences and similarities.
Mediterranean
cruises take advantage of the beauty and
relaxed atmosphere of southern Europe. From
Istanbul to Barcelona, you can visit some of
world's ancient sites as well as try a multitude
of delicious and highly varied cuisines. For
a very different feel, some cruises even stop
in Northern Africa - shore excursions allow
you to visit the pyramids or see the ruins of
Carthage.
Reasons
to choose a cruise: It takes care of the
majority of your vacation needs, and is generally
all-inclusive in pricing (alcohol, land excursions
and some activities are usually extra). Offers
a wide variety of entertainment, activities,
dining options and destinations. It's easy!
Reasons
to choose something else: If you really
like to get to know the destinations you visit;
if you prefer a lot of privacy; if you prefer
to experience a variety of different types of
accommodations.
