CRUISES
For general information about cruises, select by destination by clicking the place you'd like to cruise (Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Bahamas, Bermuda, Western Caribbean, Eastern Caribbean, Southern Caribbean, Panama Canal, US East Coast, US West Coast, US Rivers, Europe, Australia-New Zealand, Asia, South America, or Other) OR connect directly with the cruise lines' websites by clicking the name and, when you finish, just close the window and you will return here (Carnival, Celebrity, Holland America, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess, Royal Caribbean). Also, see our specials by clicking on the SPECIALS button to the left or click here. We also deal with many others, so just ask us for what you want. Be sure to check out our FAQs for basic cruise info, but MOST IMPORTANT to know is that new security requirements mean that: You must have your passport OR BOTH your driver's license AND certified copy of your birth certificate (with raised seal) OR YOU WILL BE DENIED BOARDING AND WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND!
Bahamas: Most 3-4 day cruises from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, or Pt. Canaveral. 4 day cruises often include fun and funky Key West. 5-6 day departures from Norfolk, VA and Charleston, SC Bermuda: Mostly 7 day cruises from New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Miami or Ft. Lauderdale. Western Caribbean: 5-10 day cruises, mostly from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Port Canaveral (port nearest Orlando), Tampa, New Orleans, Galveston. Most visit Cancun/Cozumel, Ocho Rios (Jamaica), and Grand Cayman. Eastern Caribbean: 5-12 day cruises, mostly from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and Port Canaveral (port nearest Orlando). Most visit a private island, St. Maarten, St. Thomas/St. John. Some go as far as the Orinoco River in Brazil. Southern Caribbean: 7-18 day cruises, beginning and ending in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Visit St. Thomas/St. John, Martinique, Barbados or other less frequently visited islands. Panama Canal: 10-21 day cruises, mostly from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, or Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego and visit various Caribbean or Mexican Riviera ports. Only these longer cruises actually sail all the way from between the Caribbean and Pacific. Shorter cruises (10-11 day) do NOT transit the canal. They enter the canal, turn around on Lake Gatun and return to their departure city. And they go throughout the year from various ports. Did you know the canal actually runs North-South, not East-West? The cruises that transit the canal depart from Florida in the spring (late April, early May), then return to Florida through the canal from the west coast in the fall (late September, early October). US East Coast: 4-15 day cruises, often called Fall Colors or Canada/New England, many depart from Montreal or New York City and visit various Eastern Seaboard ports, such as Boston, Bar Harbor, Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston or Canadian ports, such as Montreal, Halifax, or the St. Laurence Seaway. US West Coast: 3-6 day cruises, often called Pacific Coastal, starting in Vancouver, Los Angeles, or San Francisco. Usually available as part of repositioning cruises which leave from Florida in April and May, then head for Alaska. In September and October, they reposition from Alaska and return to Florida, sometimes heading for Hawaii before returning to the Caribbean. US Rivers: 3-18 day cruises on the Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Columbia, Snake, Willamette, to name but a few. Europe: Generally, longer cruises (7-18 days) that often include pre- or post-cruise land stays. You can see numerous countries or focus on just one, such as Greece.
Australia/New Zealand: Mostly 12-14 days between Sydney and Auckland, stopping at Melbourne, Hobart, Fjordland, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Wellington. A few include the Great Barrier Reef. Asia: Mostly 12-16 days including SOME but NOT all of the following: Bangkok, Sydney, Osaka, Beijing, Cairns (Great Barrier Reef), Bali, Singapore South America: Mostly longer cruises going south from Montevideo or Buenos Aires around Cape Horn (some include Antarctica) to Valparaiso or the Chilean Fjords. Others go north and include the Amazon River. Other: As you can see by the incredibly wide variety of cruises listed above, there are cruises to just about anywhere. Did you know you could cruise to Africa and take a safari? You could cruise to Antarctica to see penguins? How about the Galapagos? Vietnam? Smaller local American river cruises? If all of that isn't enough, how about a cruise around the world, or at least part of it? If you don't see
