Cruising is not just about the big ship experience! Cruising experiences come in all shapes and sizes ranging from a small 100 person yacht to a 5000 passenger mega-ship. There are ports of call all over the world, making cruising a wonderful option for anyone. Sample the culture of many destinations in one vacation but only unpack once!

Small ships / Luxury: Small Luxury cruise ships usually feature five-star cuisine, have open-seating dining, service every moment, and the amenities that you would expect from a five-star resort. Some have a full-service spa. Evenings tend to be dressy, often with a formal night.

Small ships / European River cruises: From the top deck as you cruise along, you see the ever-changing riverfront. On port stops you can visit medieval villages, taste wine, stop in Vienna for the opera, see the tulip fields in Holland. You can even combine a series of rivers to cruise all the way from Amsterdam to the Black Sea. Most also offer several days in ports before and after a cruise.

The Big-ship experience: These are the ships you see in the pictures – big cruiseliners docked in popular exotic ports around the world. Spend the day on the island of Cozumel, hop back on board for dinner and a show and end the night with a themed party on the main deck. Lots of fellow travelers, plenty of great food and unlimited fun at prices ranging from a family budget friendly inside cabin to the luxury of a specially appointed suite.
