Costco Cocktail Cruise
The Costco cocktail cruise is one of the four 2015 Buyer’s Choice cruises. Costco’s 2015 Buyer’s Choice Cocktails Cruise, to use its full and official name, came to our attention while writing about Costco wine cruises (also Buyer’s Choice cruises), and we thought it deserved an article unto itself. Below we provide an overview of the Costco cocktail cruise, explaining the details of the cruise and what to expect on board. Read more […] -
Costco Wine Cruises
Wine has long been a part of cruise vacations. This is the case most obviously because wine is an alcoholic beverage, and people like to drink a lot of alcohol on cruises, but wine, conceived as an art and experience, can also serve as a focal point of a cruise, not a mere means to inebriation. Costco’s 2015 Buyer’s Choice cruises illustrate the central role that wine can play on a cruise, as two of the four options available focus exclusively on wine. Below we provide some information about these Costco wine cruises, which you must book through Costco Travel in order to get the “exclusive extras” that we detail. Read more […] -
Costco Family Cruises
Essentially all cruises can be family cruises, but some cruises are definitely more family-friendly than others. This is true of Costco cruises as well. While technically any Costco cruise could be a “family cruise” in the sense that a family can take the cruise together, there are some special offerings that are specifically designed for families. Below is a guide to these Costco family cruises, which explains what they are and how to book them. Read more […] -
Costco Craft Beer Cruises
Over the past decade or so, the craft beer scene has exploded, to the point that entire vacations are now oriented toward craft beer. (We suppose beer has been a major component of vacations far before microbrews came into vogue, but in these simpler times, alcoholically speaking, beer served a more incidental role – it was a constant companion, perhaps, but not necessarily the object of your energy and thought.) These craft beer vacations take many forms, including craft beers cruises, one of which has been (and may again be) operated by Costco. It is surprisingly hard to track down information about the Costco craft beer cruise, often with conflicting details, and it isn’t exactly clear what Costco’s role in certain craft beer cruises is anyway. Below we sort this out as best as we can. Read more […] -
Costco World Cruises
World cruises, at least when understood expansively, are rare, and for obvious reasons. Planning a multiple-month voyage, fitting it into a cruise line’s larger schedule, and finding people who want to spend tens of thousands of dollars to take a cruise is a difficult and complex undertaking. There therefore aren’t many world cruises, and the small selection of Costco world cruises reflects this. But Costco world cruises there are, and below we have explained how you can find these cruises and book them via Costco Travel. Read more […] -
Costco Transatlantic Cruises
Transatlantic ocean liners once played an essential role in global travel, ferrying people from Europe to North America, or vice versa, only for transportation purposes. People needed to get from one continent to the other, and the only way to do this was via ship. While few ships currently serve such a pragmatic transport role, sailings across the Atlantic live on in the form of transatlantic cruises, of which Costco Travel offers several. However, Costco transatlantic cruises are difficult to find, Read more […]
