Whale Watching Cruises: Where Can You Go?

Antarctic Cruises: What Can You Do?
We recently wrote an article about cruises to Antarctica, wherein we discussed some of the general features of antarctic cruises. What we concluded is that antarctic cruises (sometimes called “Antarctica cruises” because of the relative rarity of the adjectival form of “Antarctica”) are kind of like a two-for-one deal because you get to go on a cruise vacation while simultaneously pursuing a specific end: visiting the antarctic region of the world. Since an antarctic cruise is vastly different than a standard cruise vacation offered through one of the major cruise lines (e.g., Carnival), we also concluded that a trip to Antarctica is best undertaken by a particular type of person, a person who enjoys adventure, exploration, and the sights of nature. In this article, we’ll focus specifically on some of the things you can do on an antarctic cruise, which we were only able to touch on briefly in our last treatment of this topic. Read more […] -

(These groups are not necessarily mutually exclusive.) Read more […] -

Cruise Travel Insurance
When planning a cruise, there are many factors to consider: which cruise line will you use (Carnival Cruises, Princess Cruises, etc.), what area of the globe do you want to travel to, and how long you want your cruise to last. However, there are also practical factors to attend to when planning a cruise, and one of the major considerations is this: travel insurance for your cruise. Dealing with tedious things like insurance is perhaps one of the main reasons you want to take a vacation, but cruise travel insurance is important just the same. Why? Well… Read more […] -
Cruise Vacations: Where Can You Go?
Cruise vacations are among the most variable vacations available. There are literally thousands of different cruise vacations to select from. Some of the aspects that you can control are the length of your cruise vacation, the time of year you want to take it, and the cruise line that provides it.
