Cruising Overview

Why Cruise?

Over the past 15 years, cruising has experienced a revolution – and we have you to thank. Cruisers spoke, and the cruise lines listened. Time and time again, cruisers said rock-bottom price isn't what's most important – but rather flexibility, choice, a quality experience, and excellent value are what matter most. To deliver all those elements, the cruise lines made countless changes – in dining choices and quality, in diversity of departure ports, in onboard activities, and in stateroom design, size, and comfort. Spas were expanded, children's programs were enhanced, and state-of-the-art facilities were added for sports, communication, entertainment, and fun. For these reasons, and so many others, we believe cruising now offers the best possible vacation experience.
