Types of Cruises

Ocean Cruises

Classic large ship experiences featuring multiple dining venues, Broadway-style entertainment, pools, spas, and activities for all ages. From mainstream contemporary ships to premium and luxury vessels, ocean cruises visit destinations worldwide while providing resort-style amenities at sea.

River Cruises

Intimate vessels navigating the world's great waterways—the Rhine, Danube, Seine, Mekong, and more. River cruises offer cultural immersion with port-intensive itineraries, often docking in the heart of historic cities and charming villages. With typically 100-200 passengers, these cruises provide a more personalized, destination-focused experience.

Expedition Cruises

Adventure to the world's most remote and pristine destinations aboard smaller expedition vessels. Explore Antarctica's icebergs, the Galapagos Islands' unique wildlife, or the Norwegian fjords with expert naturalists and expedition leaders. These cruises emphasize exploration, education, and environmental respect.

Luxury Cruises

Ultra-premium experiences featuring all-inclusive pricing, butler service, gourmet dining, and exceptional service ratios. Luxury ships offer spacious suites, unique itineraries, and an elevated level of personalized attention throughout your voyage.

Family-Friendly Cruises

Purpose-built for multigenerational travel with kids' clubs by age group, water parks, character experiences, and family-friendly entertainment. Many ships offer connecting staterooms and diverse dining options to please every family member.

Cruising Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the cruise fare?

Most cruises include accommodations, meals in main dining rooms and buffet areas, most onboard entertainment, and use of fitness facilities. Premium cruise lines may include more amenities.

What costs extra?

Expect additional charges for specialty dining restaurants, alcoholic beverages, spa services, shore excursions, gratuities (unless prepaid), photos, and internet access. Some luxury and river cruise lines include these items.

How do I choose a cabin?

Consider your budget and priorities. Inside cabins are most economical. Ocean view cabins have windows. Balcony cabins offer private outdoor space (most popular). Suites provide more square footage and enhanced amenities. Location matters—midship and lower decks typically have less motion.

When should I book?

Book early (12-18 months ahead) for the best selection and early booking discounts, especially for Alaska, Europe, and holiday sailings. Wave season (January-March) offers excellent promotions. Last-minute deals exist but with limited cabin selection.

What should I pack?

Pack for both casual days (resort wear, swimsuits) and evening attire. Most ships have smart casual evenings and 1-2 formal nights. Don't forget comfortable walking shoes for shore excursions, sun protection, and any necessary medications.
