Once thought of as an ideal vacation for retired people, cruise ships have woken up to the possibility that there is a huge market in creating packages to suit everyone. Whether you want to party, relax or try some extreme sports, you will find a cruise to suit your vacation.
Adventure Cruise
If you are looking for extreme water sports in remote destinations, try an adventure cruise. The ships will be smaller so they can navigate to more remote areas that would be inaccessible to larger cruise ships. Expect adventure.
River Cruise
You will have a more intimate experience on a river cruise. The ship will be smaller so that it can easily get around the main tourist destinations, especially in Europe. There will only be room for a couple of hundred passengers, so you might want to check on the age group different ship brands attract.
Party Cruise
Expect a much bigger ship with lots of room to create a party atmosphere. Most will come with cinema rooms, inclusive alcohol packages and plenty of space to dance. You may even want to go with a themed cruise such as an 80’s music design, where the live entertainment will be well-known bands from the era.
Luxury Cruise
For comfort, sophistication and high tech gadgets, a luxury cruise will give you that 5-star feeling. You will be able to tick off some of the world’s most spectacular sites with each morning taking you to a new destination in total comfort.
Expedition Cruise
An expedition cruise will have a specially designed ship to ensure it can stand the rough terrain in more remote areas. Many will now have ice breaker vessels for those brave enough to explore the arctic.
