New Ideas for Cruising

Now that cruising has made its way into a popular trend, the offers are becoming multifaceted and you can find advertisements for any kind of cruises: family, adventure or celebrity cruises - and even more unusual ones. Special features are often a standard part of a cruise. Everyone - men and women, old and young - is able to find an offer that completely fits their idea of a perfect vacation, no matter if you want family fun or exciting expeditions, a relaxing and luxurious time or the exploration of almost undiscovered areas. Now following you find a short depiction of some of these appealing possibilities.

For adventurers, American Safari Cruises has some interesting offers with different destinations. These destinations are the Pacific Northwest, Alaskan wilderness, Columbia and Snake rivers, Mexico's sea of Cortes, and California wine country. Since even adventurers do not necessarily want to give up every kind of comfort, these trips are a combination of a luxurious stay on board of the cruise ship and outdoor activities on the land, which let you plunge into an exotic and fascinating environment.

In order not to spoil the atmosphere of these expeditions, the groups are kept small. The three ships in the fleet of American Safari Cruises are made for only twelve to twenty-one passengers each, so the trips can become profound memorable experiences embedded in the feeling of community among the passengers. During the expeditions you test your endurance, while not forgetting the soothing thought that you will return to a comfortable accommodation where everything you want is waiting for you.

If historical civilizations and ancient ruins fascinate you, a trip with Ancient Adventure Cruises is an attractive alternative. They provide experiences rich in history and character, with routes ranging from Turkey to Kenya. Experienced tour guides will lead the guests on their challenging travel through time. The main focus here does not lie on the cruise itself but on the combination between the cruise and a luxurious residence on the land. Often these accommodations are located in rebuilt former palaces or historical sites.

Another special convenience provided by this travel company is that drive their guests to the many exotic locations, in cars with private chauffeurs. It is up to you to design your trip, you can combine different trips, decide on the length of your stay and on the adventures you would like to live. The international operation of the company and the guarantee of excellently trained guides make it possible for you to find the cultural or language specific accommodation you are wishing for.

The programme of Windjammer Barefoot Cruises allows you to choose from a grand diversity of cruises, such as exploring the rainforest during your 7-day stay in Panama and Costa Rica or a photography contest cruise. There's the right thing for everybody to be found somewhere on the Pacific or the Caribbean. Not only is the location variety immense "from the Bahamas to Mexico" but you can also choose between a number of themed cruises.

For instance the Pirate's week, which takes place once a year, or the Serenity cruise during which the program concentrates on the relaxation and regeneration of the passengers to make them feel younger and fresher. But most popular among all themed cruises is the Single's cruise. A cruise ship with its romantic touch and its relaxed and intimate atmosphere is the perfect scenery to meet your new love. To make sure that nobody has to stay alone, Windjammer will see to it that man and women will be on board in an equal number.
