European Cruise
European cruises depart from most major seaports around Europe. They often cover a specific region of Europe, although some companies do offer a whirlwind tour of the major sites right around the European coastline.
Northern Europe also has its fair share of specialist cruises. You can do a cruise of the Baltic palaces or simply enjoy Norway’s awe-inspiring craggy coastline. A very popular Northern European cruise is a tour up the Scandinavian coastline into the Arctic Circle to view the ‘midnight sun’.
Hawaii Cruise
Golden sunsets, sun-drenched sands and palm trees swaying in the warm gentle breeze await all who take a Hawaiian cruise. Is there anything on Earth that could rival sipping your favorite poison while watching the sun dip down below a watery horizon - all to the gentle sound of wavelets breaking on the golden sands of Hawaii? For many, this is paradise found.
Aside from lazing on the pool deck and soaking up the sun on the beautiful beaches of Hawaii, a Hawaii cruise offers many shore excursions to satisfy even the most restless of vacationers. On the Big Island itself you can turn intrepid adventurer and explore the dormant volcanoes of Mauna Kea or the smaller Kilauea crater. If you don’t fancy the hike you can always do a Circle of Fire tour by helicopter.
Luxury Cruise
A luxury cruise really is in a different league. On a luxury cruise you’ll be offered nothing less than a spacious ocean view cabin as entry level accommodation. It will be nicely decorated with plush furnishings and quality bed linen, along with modern entertainment equipment such as a TV, video and DVD player. You’ll have exclusive use of your own private balcony, as well as a fully-stocked bar and mini-fridge. Many cruise lines even offer personalized stationary, desk and writing equipment as standard in their cabins.
The cuisine on a luxury cruise is as you would expect - heavenly. There is a wide variety of menus available on board, offering an array of exotic dishes prepared by some of the finest chefs in the world. Champagne and fine wines are on hand day and night, and you can even choose to have a first-class dining experience in the privacy of your own cabin, or sat out on your private balcony.
Mediterranean Cruise
A huge clash of cultures await all who opt for a Mediterranean cruise. You can visit no less than 17 different countries, including such nations as Spain, Italy, Greece and Egypt. Each nation has its own unique attractions, all of which you can sample as your cruise ship gracefully sails around the calm blue Mediterranean Sea.
History, culture, grand cities, ancient monuments, romantic islands and breathtaking views are all within easy reach on a Mediterranean cruise. In the Western Mediterranean you can discover the traditional white Andalucian villages of Southern Spain, sample the world-famous Manzanilla sherry in Cadiz and visit the cultural hub of Europe in the shape of Barcelona,before travelling onwards to the French Riviera.
