I’m about to tell you why the next vacation you’re most likely to go on is a cruise. Imagine that you’re being transported to another place in the world while you’re fast asleep. The next morning you find yourself in a new country to explore and discover! If you’ve never been on a cruise, here are some of the many reasons why you should consider the experience:
- Fantastic Value – Who doesn’t want to get their hard-earned money’s worth? A cruise combines the components that you would otherwise have to pay for individually, like accommodations, meals, most onboard activities, and entertainment, in its all-inclusive pricing. Cruise ships also offer a variety of staterooms to fit any budget and travel needs.
- Variety – Varying in length, destination, price, amenities, theme and activities, cruises allow you to customize your vacation experience.
- Multiple Destinations – For a land-only vacation, you typically pick one destination for the duration of the trip. With a cruise, you get to see several destinations on one trip. For instance, one a cruise to Hawaii you might also get to visit Tahiti and Samoa.
- Convenient Departure Points – Traveling to board a cruise ship has never been easier, with ports located a short flight away or within driving distance of many cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
- Zero Work – On a vacation cruise, there’s no cooking or cleaning to worry about – just relaxation. After you’ve unpacked your bags, the ship’s crew takes care of the rest. Ahhhhh…
- Tons of Options– On cruise ships guests can typically enjoy swimming pools and water slides, rock climbing walls, surf riders, spa services, kids programs, nightclubs, shopping, dining, enrichment seminars and guest lecturers, exercise classes and lots more.
- Plenty of Dining Choices – There are many dining options on cruise ships that cater to all ages and tastes. In addition to offering formal dining rooms, most cruise ships feature casual restaurants, grills, and poolside dining options, plus room service.
