If one cruise makes a fantastic
vacation, wouldn’t two cruises be better? A growing number of cruise
enthusiasts are making a trend out of “back-to-back” cruising: taking two
cruises, one right after the other.
Some back-to-back cruises are booked on
the same ship. This works well if the ship alternates its itineraries – for
example, sailing the Eastern Caribbean one week and the Western Caribbean the
next. By booking two sequential cruises, you’ll see more of the gorgeous Caribbean
– and, you’ll have time to more fully enjoy all of the ship’s amenities.
Another back-to-back option is booking
cruises on two different ships. This provides an opportunity to enjoy two sets
of cruise ship amenities, dining options and entertainment venues while
extending your vacation.
Back-to-back cruises can also help
maximize the value of pricey airfares to Europe. A pair of European cruises –
to the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, for example – can help you experience
a more complete European tour with just one round-trip air ticket.
Repositioning cruises present another
option for back-to-back cruises. After a relaxing ocean voyage, you can embark
on another, more port-intensive cruise.
If you are staying in the same cabin,
you can leave your belonging there. If you are changing cabins, a steward will
help you move your belongings to your new accommodations.
If you are changing to a different ship
for your second cruise, you can expect to go through the usual disembarkation
and boarding process. Then, relax and enjoy the second half of a memorable
cruise vacation! Ask Anita, your Cruise Holidays personal cruise expert, to help
you find back-to-back cruise opportunities.
