Whale Watching Cruises in California
California, with a shoreline that stretches over a significant portion of the Pacific Coast, is a natural place to take a whale watching cruise, and there are plenty of whale watching cruises in California to be taken. Companies that offer whale watching cruises abound in California; if you are in any of the larger cities along the coast, there will likely be at least a few whale watching cruise companies vying for your business, regaling you with tales of leviathans beheld as they attempt to lure you on board. (That perhaps overstates the case, but you get the point.) Below we supply an overview of whale watching cruises in California to guide you through the process of finding and booking the right one.

Spa Cruises: A Guide
All cruises are spa cruises, at least in the sense that essentially every cruise ship of every major cruise line has a spa on board. Like swimming pools, live entertainment, and casinos, spas are simply a part of the cruise experience. However, this isn’t to say that all cruise spas are equal, or that every cruise can be regarded as a “spa cruise” in the same way. On some ships, spas are merely one amenity among many, and the spa’s offerings are not emphasized above any other diversion. One other Read more […] -

Codzilla, The High Speed Boat that Cruises the Boston Harbor
There are many Boston Harbor cruises. There are sightseeing cruises, booze cruises, and dinner, lunch, and brunch cruises. There are also high speed cruises offered by the amusingly-named Codzilla. Operated by one of the major players in the Boston Harbor cruising scene, Boston Harbor Cruises, Codzilla offers a high-speed and relatively short trip around the Boston Harbor (or Boston Harbour, although not really because Boston isn’t in the UK). It’s a good option for those who want to get on the Boston Harbor without taking a cruise that takes an entire morning or afternoon, and who can deal with a bumpy and wet ride. Below we’ve compiled all the information you’d ever want to know about Codzilla, including reviews of the experience, ticket prices, and booking information. Read more […] -
Take a Boston Tea Party Cruise
Of all the Boston Harbor cruises, the Boston Tea Party Cruise offered by Liberty Fleet of Tall Ships might be the most unusual (although the Codzilla could plausibly hold this title as well). Part cruise and part history lesson, the Boston Tea Party Cruise allows its passengers to reenact one of the most storied moments in U.S. history in the actual place it took place, the Boston Harbor (or Boston Harbour, although it seems questionable to use the British spelling when talking about an episode that initiated a chain of events culminating in American independence from British rule). It’s a cruise worth trying if you are interested in American history and have kids to entertain, so below we provide an overview of the Boston Tea Party Cruise and explain how you can secure a ticket.

A Guide to Boston Harbor Cruises
There are a number of different cruises you can take in the Boston Harbor (or Boston Harbour, as the British would have it).

Below we supply some information about the various Boston Harbor cruises available, linking to the various companies that offer them. Think of this as a guide to Boston Harbor cruises that will connect you with the appropriate cruise for you. Read more […]
