Cruises on oceans can be experienced on small, midsize, and large ships that sail to ports near destinations known for their beauty or that are of cultural or historical importance. These cruises are often split into three categories:
Ocean cruises not only carry you to spectacular locations, they usually include top-notch onboard entertainment.
Expedition cruises explore remote, pristine areas like the Arctic, Antarctica, Galapagos Islands, Sea of Cortez, The Great Lakes, or Kimberley with a focus on education and adventure. Zodiacs are often used.
World cruises are long-duration ocean voyages of 90 days or longer that circumnavigate the globe while visiting numerous cities and cultures. Although on occasion a first-time cruiser may choose a world cruise, most cruisers on world journeys have cruised many times in the past.

Explore the culturally unique and scenic destinations ocean cruises visit throughout the world. Your toughest decision may be deciding which destinations you want to experience first.
Ocean cruising is like staying at a hotel on water, but with food and entertainment included. Onboard restaurants provide enough variety that most everyone's tastebuds will be satisfied. Thanks to diligent cabin stewards, rooms are kept clean and neat. The entertainment is often so good, you might think that you are watching a Broadway show. Some of the larger ships include extreme sports, for those who dare. You might choose to participate in rock climbing, water slides, sky diving simulators, go-karting, zip lining, and surfing. All of that is just the "at sea" part.
There are many levels of ocean cruising, from mass-market to premium to ultra-luxury. By knowing more about the various cruise lines, you can determine what works best for you. We can help you understand these differences.
