HONEYMOON
CRUISES/ WEDDING
CRUISES
What
can be more romantic for a
couple
than a nice cruise vacation? We picked 3 upscale cruise lines that fit
this type of vacation and have all necessary features: spacious cabins,
dining tables for two, open-seating dining and in-room service.
Regent
Seven Seas Cruises with all ocean-view staterooms, extended
complimentary service and worry-free cruising atmosphere. Smaller ships
of
Silversea
Cruises provide
more intimacy and unbeatable service. No other cruise ship is more
romantic than a real sailing yacht provided by
Windstar
Cruises, with so many romantic getaway places in its
itineraries.
FAMILY
CRUISES
Which cruises are the best for families with kids? Pick cruise lines
with large ships that provide a lot of fun activities for all age
groups and supervised programs and clubs for young children and teens.
Besides, these are economical choices and Our personal choices are the
"Fun Ships" of
Carnival
Cruise Lines;
Disney
Cruise Line with its non-stop onboard activities for
children;
Norwegian
Cruise Line with its "Kids's Crew" program for kids 2-17
y.o.;
Royal
Caribbean Cruise Line's
huge ships equipped wtih ice skating rinks, basketball courts, numerous
swimming pools, rock-climbing walls, and fun programs for kids.
SENIOR
CRUISES
These days seniors are active as never before, their numbers are
growing, they explore new horizons, new challenges, they cruise to
destinations that just recently were considered"seniors-free". Cruise
lines are trying to adjust to the new conditons and offer more and more
senior-friendly cruise vacations. They are cruises with rich
itineraries, fine service, sophisticated entertainment onboard, plenty
of learning and self-improvement programs, culture and
history-oriented shore excursions.
Holland
America Cruises has always been the line of choice for
seniors for its old traditions, easy-going atmosphere and excellent
service. Moving towards the high-end, we choose old-styled
Cunard
Cruise Line and
Seabourn
Cruses with its all-inclusive, relaxed small-ship intimacy.
SINGLE
CRUISES
All advertised cruise rates are based on double cabin occupancy unless
specified otherwise. So, if you plan a to cruise alone, you can end up
paying
twice the rate you initially expected to pay. In order to escape it,
check the cruise line's single supplement rates which will tell you
right away how much you are going to pay for a single occupancy. Single
supplement rates vary from 110% all the way to 200% for different
cruise lines and ships, which means that you will pay from 55% to 100%
of the full double stateroom fare.
Carnival
Cruise Lines,
Holland
America Cruise Line and
Orient
Cruise Line
offer so called "single shares" where a single passenger agrees to
share a cabin with another single person, and they both pay the
advertised rates. On the
pricier
side-
Crystal
Cruises which has the single supplement rate of
125%. Its ships usually carry a large number of single vacationers. And
super-expensive
Silversea
with the single supplement rate of only 110% and possibility to change
itinerary to fit your own timetable.
LUXURY
CRUISES
Regent
Seven Seas,
Seabourn
and
Silversea
Cruises occupy the top three places in our rating for luxury
cruises. All of these luxury cruises offer all-inclusive vacation, no
tips required, extended complimentary service and amentities listing,
more space per passenger, specialty restaurants with award-winning
cuisine, 24-hour in-room service.
TRANSATLANTIC
CRUISES
The best way to cruise in a relaxing atmosphere, without getting
onshore for a few days in a row. Transatlantic cruises usually take
anywhere from 6 to 17 days. During cruise ships' repositioning after a
summer in Europe, they return to the Caribbean in the fall, and in the
spring they are sailing back for a summer in Europe. Ports of
call vary from one ship to another based on their
itinerary. Fare on repositioning Transatlantic cruises is
usually low. You should book your Transatlantic cruise as early as
possible as well as take care of necessary air tickets. One of the best
cruise lines for Transatlantic cruising is
Cunard
Cruises which offer great rates for cruising in style and
outstanding service.
