Ocean Cruising
Ocean cruises hearken back to the glamorous and luxurious days of yesteryear when people travelled in style. This is truly travel without compromise.
What you will experience...
- There are waves, and you won’t always see the shoreline but ocean cruisers like the exhilarating feeling of being away from it all, bound for adventure.
- There will be some days at sea, but for most ocean cruisers a day at sea is the ultimate indulgence: reading a novel, taking in the sun or watching the ocean roll by can be a welcoming rest from one’s busy week.
- Luxury ocean cruise ships offer greater opportunities to access smaller, less-trafficked ports, which lends to refreshingly unique itineraries and the ability to dock within the cities.
- Some of the finest cuisine is served at sea and on many of the ocean cruise ships, you can dine at any hour and at a table for two.
- Ocean cruise lines offer many opportunities to learn and grow. Guest lecturers, computer training, art, culinary and photography courses can be found on many of the ocean cruise lines – another wonderful way to spend a day at sea.
- If you like all-inclusive travel, some of the ocean cruise lines do include it all – even the shore excursions!
- Ocean cruising will take you to some of the most exciting or remote regions of the planet and will show them to you intimately.
There are many different ocean cruise lines out there, each offering unique services, amenities and experiences. It’s important to note that some cruise lines have dress codes that encourage a particularly high-end and glamorous experience, while others offer a more relaxed environment.
No matter what your travel goals, there is an Ocean Cruise for you.
