The 49th State, the largest in the U.S., is perfect for cruisers, with numerous opportunities to
appreciate its vast natural beauty. Sail along the Inside Passage to visit the immense ice formations of Glacier Bay and Icy Strait, as well
popular ports such as Ketchikan, Skagway and Juneau, the only U.S. state capital that's not accessible by car. Or travel further north to the
Kenai Peninsula and nearby Anchorage, a perfect jumping off point for cruise tours to Denali, Fairbanks and Canada's Yukon. Maybe you'll see a
bear!
Alaska is an intriguing, culturally diverse destination with thousands of miles of scenic coastline that make it a natural draw for cruise
ships. Each of the ports offers a different perspective on life in the most northerly U.S. state. Ketchikan is a center of Tlingit (pronounced
KLING-kit) Indian culture, while Skagway is Gold Rush-era oriented. Petersburg's theme is Norwegian, Valdez's is the Alaskan Pipeline (it's the
southernmost terminal), and Sitka's is Russian
Alaska is big, so too is its beauty. A vast, uninhabited wilderness overwhelms the comparatively
small cities in the state, such as commercial-minded Anchorage and tucked away Juneau (a curious state capital with no road access). This
natural beauty can be enjoyed while hiking, paddling, and fishing in the great outdoors, especially as the state and national parks here
are some of the largest in the United States.
Calm beaches and relaxing ambience make The Bahamas a classic cruising favorite. This is where
most cruise lines have their private islands, and water sports, such as snorkeling, sailing and jet skiing, are also popular shore excursions.
The Bahamas, which gained independence from the U.K. in 1973, is an archipelago comprising some 700 islands (of which maybe 30 are inhabited)
and more than 2,000 cays, all scattered across the ocean. They stretch from Grand Bahama Island -- about 75 miles east of Palm Beach,
Florida -- to Great Inagua -- about 60 miles to the northeast of Cuba. The geography can be confusing -- the Bahamas is in the Atlantic
but dips its toes in the Caribbean.
The Bahamas have activities to keep you going day or night -- be it sand-lounging along coastline beaches, hiking through national parks,
shopping island markets or fancy boutiques, dancing the limbo in Count Basie Square, teeing off, glitzy casino gambling -- or filling up
on fresh conch.
Located in the Atlantic Ocean off the east coast of the United States, Bermuda is an
especially popular destination in the summer months when temperatures hover at 80 degrees. Crowds flock to this tourist-friendly,
sub-tropical island for pink sand beaches and famous golf courses, while taking in its charms at the Hamilton, St. George, and
King's Wharf ports. Many cruises dock for three days, which gives you even more time to explore or simply relax.
The tiny country has an amazingly high repeat visitor rate, and we say it must be a tribute to the simple pleasures this group
of islands has to offer: blue skies meeting blue waters, and pink sand beaches lying along winding roads sprinkled with cottages
washed in lemon yellows, baby blues and pistachio greens. Not to mention Bermuda's sophisticated museums; high-end shops,
plentiful golf courses, historic sites and multitude of dining options.
Looking for the ultimate cruise adventure? The White Continent is truly the trip of a lifetime.
Whether you cross the Drake Passage in a small expedition ship or do a "sail by" on a larger vessel, this magical voyage will not only impress
your friends, the otherworldly scenery will touch your soul.
Antarctica is the last untouched continent, making it a desirable destination for the intrepid traveler. It has no indigenous people, no
politics and no economy, yet it covers almost 10 percent of the earth's surface -- making it 1.5 times the size of the United States. Overwhelming
and awe-inspiring, it has a raw, emotional effect on visitors that few destinations match and is often described as "visiting another planet."
For wildlife lovers, few destinations can match "The White Continent." Of course, everyone comes to see the penguins, which thrive in raucous
colonies that may consist of tens of thousands of birds. Three types of penguins -- chinstrap, gentoo and Adelie -- are all common along the
peninsula. Larger, and arguably more beautiful, king penguins are rarely seen on the peninsula but are found in vast colonies in South Georgia.
Sightings of emperor penguins, which can reach 3 feet tall and weigh more than 80 pounds, are unlikely, although occasionally they can be found
near the Weddell Sea or on ice in the far south of the peninsula.
With an island for every taste, the Caribbean is the ultimate place for relaxation. You'll find white
sands and turquoise water throughout the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Some islands are lush, with rainforests and mountain trails, while others
have desert climates and coral beaches. Wherever you visit, taste regional specialties such as conch fritters and get out on the water with
snorkeling and sailing excursions.
You can snorkel, scuba and swim in the turquoise Caribbean waters, make friends with dolphins, ride thrilling zip lines, take 4-wheel-drive vehicles
into the wilderness or visit Mayan ruins. Families and active travelers will find a wealth of options, as will laid-back cruisers who just want to
enjoy the tropical sun on a white-sand beach.
New England and Canada cruises offer sophisticated, eye-catching ports of call. Take in the sights
of the Atlantic Ocean coast, enjoy whale watching, and see the beautiful fall foliage. Newport, Portland and Bar Harbor are quaint towns with
lighthouses and crab shacks. Explore Canada's Maritime provinces, including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland. Finally, immerse
yourself in French Canada with stops in Quebec's cities and countryside.
Cruising Canada and New England is not only about what you can see and learn, though. These itineraries offer a plethora of opportunities to
peddle, paddle and hike -- in national parks, along coastal roads and through color-filled forests. Speedboat rides in the Bay of Fundy,
whale-watching excursions, and white-water rafting are all available, too.
Canada is a North American country stretching from the U.S. in the south to the Arctic Circle
in the north. Major cities include massive Toronto, west coast film centre Vancouver, French-speaking Montréal and Québec City, and capital
city Ottawa. Canada's vast swaths of wilderness include lake-filled Banff National Park in the Rocky Mountains. It's also home to
Niagara Falls, a famous group of massive waterfalls.
Aloha! Island hop your way through Hawaii on a cruise. On Oahu, visit Honolulu's Waikiki Beach
and pay your respects at Pearl Harbor. View active volcanos on Hawaii, the Big Island, seek out water sports in laidback Maui and escape
from it all in Kauai.
The eight major Hawaiian Islands are volcanic, each created from at least one primary volcano. And each is different, with distinct climates
and attractions -- an aspect that makes cruising there even more appealing. On a given sailing, you might sail by the dramatic cliffs of
Kauai's Napali Coast, sunbathe on Honolulu's bustling Waikiki Beach, reach the volcanic summit of Maui's Haleakala Crater and taste some of
the world's best coffee in the verdant hills above Kona.
With its scenic coastline extending around the Baja Peninsula, western Mexico consists of three
states and a petite grouping of islands. An experience on Mexico's Gold Coast may include lounging on the beach, kayaking a sandbar,
exploring Mayan ruins or dancing in trendy nightclubs. Mazatlan offers a more traditional cultural experience, while Puerto Vallarta and
Cabo San Lucas are especially accommodating to cruisers looking to shop or head to local restaurant and bars.
There's a lot to do in this part of the world, particularly for active types. Water activities, such as snorkeling, paddleboarding,
kayaking, fishing and scuba diving abound, and there's no shortage of beaches. For those who seek culture, Mazatlan has a historic
center that has become a draw for international artists, and Puerto Vallarta's foodie scene is among the best in Mexico. You can even
ride a camel through the Baja desert.
The Riviera Maya extends along the Caribbean coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula from Puerto
Morelos to the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. Once home to small fishing villages, the Riviera Maya coastline has since been developed
into a modern tourist corridor offering the very best of high-end luxury resorts, fine dining, nightlife, spa retreats, shopping and
golf in Mexico. An ideal vacation destination, the Riviera Maya is home to some of the most stunningly beautiful beaches in all of
Mexico with expansive stretches of powdery white sand lapped by the clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
If you're a fan of art and antiquities, a cruise to the Eastern Mediterranean is right
up your alley. With itineraries that include the Adriatic/Dalmation Coast, Black Sea, Greek Isles and Holy Land, the region is a treasure
trove for history lovers. Ports such as Venice and Athens have their own unique flavor, while the Greek Isles, Crete and Cypress lure
beachgoers. Religion in the Eastern Mediterranean is varied, so don't miss Dubrovnik's ancient churches, Istanbul's breathtaking mosques
or Jerusalem's vibrant synagogues.
The Western Mediterranean is one of the most diverse cruise regions. Spanning two continents (Europe and Africa), the region includes the
artistic meccas of Italy, France and Spain and Arabic culture in Morocco and Tunisia. The itinerary is ideal for art and history lovers
who also wish to explore the region's landmarks, beaches, cafes and boutique shops. Don't miss highlights such as Barcelona's Las Ramblas,
a day trip to Capri from Naples or Sorrento, or an excursion to the wine-making villages of the French countryside.
Imagine the ultimate paradise; you're likely to find it in the South Pacific. Reachable from
Australia and New Zealand, the South Pacific includes popular islands like Fiji, Bora Bora, Tahiti and Samoa as well as more remote stops
that are diverse in culture, history, languages, geology and scenery. On a South Pacific cruise, you can enjoy relaxed beaches and some of
the world's best water sports.
Paradise on Earth. The Ultimate Honeymoon Destination. The Most Stunning Sea. The Most Beautiful People on Earth. The superlatives that
have built up in our shared consciousness about the South Pacific may seem over whelming. The too-perfect-to-be-true turquoise and azure
blue waters, majestic tropical scenery, gorgeous white sand beaches, year-round sunshine and the remarkably welcoming people you'll find
throughout the South Pacific seem, well, perfect in many respects.
One of the few engineering marvels in the world with its own palindrome, the Panama Canal should be on
everyone's list of must-see places. Celebrating its centennial in 2014, this link between two great oceans is as vital and vibrant as ever. It is
also one of the greatest testaments to ingenuity that the world has ever seen.
Travelers have always made their way across the 50-mile isthmus that connects North and South America, dubbed the "Crossroads of the World." But,
until the canal was built, the trans-isthmus trek involved a winding path through jungle rivers. In 1880, the French began a canal-building project
that, after twenty years, ended in failure and the death of an estimated 20,000 workers. The U.S. took over in 1903, poured $352 million dollars
into the project, and opened the Panama Canal in August of 1914
Many cruisers consider a Panama Canal transit a bucket-list item, and for a long time, the itineraries drew mostly seniors, due to the length of a
full-transit trip (which usually runs 14 days). Partial transits -- where the cruises only go halfway through the locks before turning around --
not only cut the number of days, but increase day-trip options in the Central American cities near the canal. While several ships bring lecturers
onboard to talk about the canal's history, this is one trip where a little extra reading might add to your enjoyment. "The Path Between the Seas,"
by historian David McCullough, comes highly recommended.
Once sailed by explorers of the Viking Age, the Baltic is home to a myriad of cultures, languages
and storied pasts. The northernmost region of Europe encompasses the Scandinavian countries such as Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Most
Baltic cruises overnight in glorious St. Petersburg, Russia; stops in historic Tallinn, Estonia, and Warenmunde, Germany - gateway to Berlin
- are also possible. The breathtaking Norwegian fjords represent a world in itself.
While still overshadowed by the popularity of the Mediterranean, a cruise on the Baltic Sea through Northern Europe and Scandinavia has charms
of its own. The region boasts a kaleidoscope of cultures, languages, currencies, artistic traditions and ancient histories -- and cruising is
the ideal way to see it all at a reasonable price. (Sweden, Finland, and Denmark are traditionally more expensive than other parts of Europe.)
Alaska is big, so too is its beauty. A vast, uninhabited wilderness overwhelms the comparatively
small cities in the state, such as commercial-minded Anchorage and tucked away Juneau (a curious state capital with no road access). This
natural beauty can be enjoyed while hiking, paddling, and fishing in the great outdoors, especially as the state and national parks here
are some of the largest in the United States.
